Continuous Deployment

What is GitOps? GitOps is a methodology that leverages the best practices from software development and applies them to infrastructure management. It is built around the concept of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and uses Git as the single source of truth for both application code and infrastructure configuration. Key Principles of GitOps Declarative Configuration: The desired state of the system is described using declarative specifications, typically in JSON or YAML files. This configuration is stored in a Git repository, which serves as the single source of truth. Version Control: All changes to the desired state are made through commits to the Git repository. This ensures that every change is tracked and can be easily reverted if necessary. Automated Deployment: Specialized software, such as ArgoCD, monitors the Git repository and automatically deploys the infrastructure and applications based on the configurations defined in the repository. Continuous Reconciliation: The system continuously checks the current state against the desired state defined in the Git repository and makes adjustments to ensure they converge. Benefits of GitOps Rapid Deployment GitOps facilitates faster deployment by integrating automated continuous deployment with feedback control loops. This approach ensures that changes are quickly and reliably deployed to production environments. ...
