🚀 Exploring GitOps: Software and Infrastructure Management Intro Video
In this video 🎥, we dive into the GitOps, an innovative method that revolutionizes how we manage software and infrastructure using Git. GitOps not only simplifies the process but also enhances efficiency and security.
🔍 GitOps vs. Traditional Deployment: A Comparative Look We kick off by comparing GitOps with traditional application and infrastructure deployment methods. This comparison highlights how GitOps stands out in terms of ease and effectiveness.
📚 Understanding GitOps: The Four Core Principles As per OpenGitOps, an open-source standard, GitOps is anchored on four essential principles:
- Declarative Configuration: Clearly defining the desired system state.
- Versioned and Immutable: Storing the desired state immutably, with a complete version history.
- Automatic Pulling: Software agents autonomously fetch the desired state from the source.
- Continuous Reconciliation: Regular checks and adjustments ensure the actual system state aligns with the desired state.
🔁 Traditional Deployment Process Unveiled We illustrate the typical journey of a developer's code from development to deployment in a CI/CD pipeline, involving steps like code committing, image creation, testing, and final deployment to a Kubernetes cluster.
🔧 GitOps Workflow: A New Approach Then, we shift our focus to the GitOps workflow. Here, a GitOps operator plays a crucial role, constantly monitoring the Git repository for changes. This operator ensures continuous synchronization between your application and the repository, streamlining deployment processes and enhancing security.
🌟 Why GitOps and Kubernetes are a Perfect Match Lastly, we explore why GitOps is particularly effective with Kubernetes. While applicable to various environments, Kubernetes' declarative nature and features like self-healing and continuous state comparison make it an ideal match for GitOps principles.
Very soon we'll release a practical guidance on how to set up GitOps operator.
