other solutions before it, has also several shortcomings. It seems that the honeymoon period is now over, and we can finally talk about the issues of GitOps (and the current generation of GitOps tools) environment is obvious. You merge (or create a commit) in Git, and your cluster for environment X is now getting the new version. But how do you promote this release to environment Y? Every time somebody useful to developers and operators. Business stakeholders have no interest in which Git hash is now deployed at the cluster. Therefore, while GitOps is great for observability on a technical level

Kubernetes. Cloud-Native DevOps So if GitOps isn’t anything new, why are we hearing so much about it now? Much like how the Agile Manifesto changed the game for developers and administrators, Kuber- netes production (after they pass automated tests). Continuous deploy- ment supersedes continuous delivery and is now seen as full DevOps automation. Where does GitOps fit in? GitOps doesn’t replace CI/CD, but participates process, GitOps focuses on the CD aspect (both continuous deployment and continuous delivery). So now, instead of having deployment of your application be imperative in your CI/CD platform, it can be

Thanks to GitOps, MediaMarktSaturn now experiences almost no downtime. Before GitOps, it was the norm for them to experience outages during a deployment. Now, instead of outages, they have automatic deployment speed empower the team to now deploy during high-traffic times without issues. Even when the inevitable failure happens, they can recover quickly. The team can now spin up an identical full-stack full-stack production system within five minutes and recover from disaster. “Right now, our systems are nearly 100% reliable.” — Florian Heubeck, Principal Engineer, MediaMarktSaturn The path to GitOps adoption

observability have drastically increased. This puts an additional burden on the developer as they now must oversee more and more components of the application. Ideally, the developer focuses mainly (i.e., Git) and restore back to normal if needed. CANONICALLY VERSIONED DESIRED SYSTEM STATE Now, by being able to declaratively store your desired system state in Git, you can easily apply versioning you have stored your current system state with version number 1.0.0 (semantic versioning) in Git. Now you want to apply a minor patch to your system state, i.e., application configuration. So you can

Technology, in particular cloud native technology like Kubernetes and its ecosystem of projects, is now a core competency for organizations in all industries, from manufacturing and banking to retail and and travel. Every business must innovate to survive. Every company is a technology company now. Yet, like all approaches to software development, there is more than one way to implement DevOps. As the and market share. This link is so strong because in practically every modern sector, businesses now depend on their ability to create and operate software to achieve their goals. Velocity equates to

incorporating microservices-based architectures and even databases in the form of database DevOps. Now there’s a new kind of Ops. GitOps is rapidly gaining popularity to extend the scope of DevOps further confined by Weaveworks in 2017 and was primarily aimed at managing Kubernetes deployments. However, now it has evolved into supporting other infrastructure management solutions such as Terraform. The goal such as: Kubernetes Operator Terraform Cloud Operator Azure Service Operator Etc. GitOps workflow Now, we’ve got a Git repository and a properly configured CI/CD pipeline. An infrastructure engineer will:
