What’s GitOps All About?
GitOps is a way to manage infrastructure and applications through Git, using it as a single source of truth. In simple terms, you treat infrastructure configurations the same way you treat code: everything is defined, versioned, and stored in Git. By using Git’s familiar workflows (pull requests, commits, reviews), you make infrastructure changes with full visibility and control.
The magic of GitOps lies in automation. With tools like Flux or ArgoCD, every change committed to Git triggers updates to the live environment. These tools constantly monitor for any drift between what’s in Git and what’s live, and they reconcile the differences automatically, keeping your systems aligned with your intended setup.
