The latest News and Information on GitOps and related technologies.
Benefits of GitOps in IT monitoring The GitOps model has gained popularity as a software development approach. It enables IT teams to deliver higher-quality software faster and more efficiently. By streamlining and automating the development process, GitOps provides substantial productivity improvements while ensuring comprehensive observability for monitoring and control.
Earlier this year, when Codefresh announced the first course in our GitOps for Argo certification program – GitOps Fundamentals – we had high hopes that the course would satisfy the community’s pent-up demand for practical GitOps knowledge. To meet this demand, we designed a course that features lab environments to dramatically improve the learning experience. Each student gets a lab environment pre-configured with everything they need to learn GitOps using Argo CD.
GitOps modernizes software management and operations by allowing developers to declaratively manage infrastructure and code using a single source of truth, usually a Git repository. Many development teams and organizations have adopted GitOps procedures to improve the creation and delivery of software applications. For a GitOps initiative to work, an orchestration system like Kubernetes is crucial.
GitOps takes DevOps best practices used for application development (such as version control and CI/CD) and applies them to infrastructure automation. In GitOps, the Git repository serves as the source of truth and the CD pipeline is responsible for building, testing, and deploying the application code and the underlying infrastructure. Nowadays, an application is not just code running on infrastructure that you own and operate.
In an ideal world, developers would be able to release new products and features from development environments into production extremely fast while also not having to stress about breaking prod. Achieving this combination of development speed while also maintaining software reliability requires having the right toolchain and automation in place.
