Merging to Main #2: Is GitOps Just a FAD?

Adopting GitOps is an adventure worth exploring, but it requires careful consideration of your existing development practices, CI/CD automation, infrastructure, and engineering culture. Like any CI/CD modernization, the benefits are significant, but finding the right balance between the amount of change, the timeline, and the potential for improvement can be tricky. In addition, you also must ensure that your teams receive training on the core principles of GitOps and the new process. So with that in mind - is it all worth it? Is GitOps just another FAD that you should ignore?

GitOps The Planet #10: Demystifying SBOMs and Their Impact on CI/CD Software Delivery

Before cloud-native controlling components delivered was in some ways "easier" in that ops teams could limit which components were available on nodes. With containerization, the ops problem became harder while the dev side became easier. Now SBOMS (software bill of materials) are becoming critical to software supply chain risk management. In this episode, GitOps the Planet Alum, Christian Hernandez will join to walk us through SBOMS, how we should be using them, and how they help improve software security.

Why using the "one Docker image to rule them all" is probably a terrible idea.

Dan's last tutorial "Learn how to make the LAST Docker image you'll ever need" was a very successful April Fools joke. Perhaps too successful. In this video Dan does the tutorial in reverse and explains exactly why "one Docker image to rule them all" is probably a terrible idea.

And when migrating from monoliths to microservices, people tend to only focus on the really technical nitty gritty details, and don’t focus enough time on questions like: With experience as a consultant, architect, engineer, DevOps engineer, and developer evangelism, JJ Asghar, Developer Advocate at IBM has seen every side of the modernization process. And has so many stories to share.
