In today’s highly dynamic and complex tech environments, having a single source of truth in a Git repository is crucial for maintaining order and efficiency. With the emergence of GitOps, a modern approach to managing operations based on Git repositories, it serves as an ideal complement to DevOps practices, revolutionizing the way companies manage their operational tasks.
Git repositories provide several significant advantages in managing code and other resources in modern tech environments. These include version control and tracking code changes over time, offering a clear timeline of code edits, file content changes, and collaborative development.
Some operational issues that companies face include managing desired state configuration to prevent configuration drift, handling access permissions, and deploying new environments. Traditionally, these tasks have been manual, time-consuming, and error-prone.
To minimize risks and disruptions in business, frameworks like ITIL and change advisory boards have played a significant role in managing operational tasks. However, these traditional approaches may not be agile enough to cope with the rapidly evolving technology landscape.
GitOps is a modern approach that applies Git repositories as a source of truth for operational tasks. According to the Linux Foundation, GitOps has four key principles:
These principles build upon cloud-native concepts, where the source of truth is always stored and versioned in Git repositories.
The adoption of GitOps leads to several benefits in operations management:
Several real-world examples demonstrate GitOps’ capabilities, including:
As cloud-native environments continue to gain traction, we can expect further adoption of GitOps practices. This shift will drive the development of new and improved GitOps tooling and resources, catalyzing even greater operational efficiency.
In conclusion, GitOps has shown tremendous potential in revolutionizing operational efficiency and enhancing collaboration in tech environments. By embracing GitOps as a powerful complement to existing DevOps practices, organizations can reap the benefits of increased agility, reduced errors, and streamlined processes.
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
