GitOps

GitOps is a modern approach to software deployment and infrastructure management that leverages Git as a single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications. By using Git's powerful version control capabilities, GitOps allows development teams to automate and manage infrastructure using the same Git pull requests they use for code changes. This method significantly enhances transparency, accountability, and reproducibility across IT operations. At the core of GitOps is the principle of infrastructure as code (IaC). It enables teams to manage their infrastructure with the same rigor they apply to application source code. For professionals, mastering GitOps means enhancing their capability to manage infrastructure and deployments efficiently. It allows you to implement continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflows that are reliable, scalable, and quick to adapt to new changes. GitOps not only streamline the operational aspects but also bolsters security by providing a clear audit trail of who changed what and when.
