As companies continue embracing DevOps, there are tools, which have created an evolution to GitOps, & a set of practices that allow developers to perform more IT operations-related tasks. At its core, GitOps is code-based infrastructure and operational procedures that rely on Git as a source control system. It’s the future of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) that leverages Git as the single source of truth, and control mechanism for creating, updating, and deleting system architecture. More simply, it is the practice of using Git pull requests to verify and automatically deploy system infrastructure modifications. It is also used to describe tools that augment Git's default functionality. These tools were primarily used with operating models for Kubernetes-based infrastructure and applications. The core essence of GitOps is its live syncing pull request workflow which ensures that a system’s cloud infrastructure is immediately reproducible based on the state of a Git repository. The GitOps operator, which sits between the GitOps pipeline and the orchestration system, picks up the commit and pulls in the new state declaration from Git. There is an abundance of GitOps operators which focus strongly on the GitOps core features and can be integrated into existing CI/CD infrastructure. GitOps is incredibly powerful, owing to the benefits that it brings to the table - it is like Infrastructure-as-Code (IAC) on steroids! The key benefits of leveraging Gitops include improved collaboration, increased deployment speed and frequency, increased reliability, improved stability, consistency and standardization, ease of adoption, greater efficiency, more flexibility to experiment, more robust security, improved compliance and auditing, and whatnot!
