What is GitOps?

GitOps is a way of implementing Continuous Deployment for cloud native applications. It focuses on a developer-centric experience when operating infrastructure, by using tools developers are already familiar with, including Git and Continuous Deployment tools.

Key Components

• Git Repository: The single source of truth for the desired state of your system
• ArgoCD: The GitOps operator that ensures the cluster state matches the desired state
• Kubernetes: The container orchestration platform where your applications run

Benefits

• Increased productivity through automation
• Improved security through declarative infrastructure
• Better reliability with version control
• Faster recovery times in case of failures
