What is GitOps? | Why is GitOps critical?

So you want to move at the pace of relevance, enable your teams to instantiate your applications, DevSecOps Platform and even your entire Infrastructure with a push-button deployment?

Finally understand the 5 principles of GitOps, its various benefits and implementations with products like Harness with Argo CD and Weaveworks with Flux.

Your Git repo becomes your source of truth, your crown jewel.

The "Infrastructure as Code" concept is a critical DevSecOps ingredient to ensure that production environments do not drift from development/testing environments.
Changes should only be made in source code and redeployed by the CI/CD pipeline.
- No drift between environments, whether classified/disconnected/Cloud/on-premise,
- Immutable,
- Replicable,
- Automated,
- No human in production environments: reduces attack surface (disable SSH etc.), insider threat and configuration drifts,

Based on Infrastructure as Code concepts, GitOps makes Git the single source of truth of the desired state of your Infrastructure, Platform and Applications.
