GitOps

GitOps is a modern approach to continuous deployment that uses Git as the single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications.

GitOps provide the following benefits:
  • Declarative Configuration: The desired state of the entire system is defined declaratively and stored in Git.
  • Version Control: All changes are tracked, auditable, and can be easily rolled back using Git history.
  • Automated Deployment: Any changes committed to Git automatically trigger deployment processes.
  • Self-Healing: The system continuously reconciles the actual state with the desired state defined in Git, ensuring consistency.
  • Collaboration: Teams leverage familiar Git workflow, such as pull requests and code reviews to manage and approve infrastructure changes.

GitOps brings the benefits of DevOps practices to infrastructure and application deployment, making it easier to manage complex Kubernetes environments at scale.
