Demystifying GitOps: A Beginner-Friendly Explanation | KodeKloud

GitOps is a way to do Continuous Deployment, it works by using Git as a single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and application code. This means that all changes to your infrastructure and applications are made through pull requests, allowing for peer review, testing and rollbacks. By using GitOps, organizations can achieve faster and more reliable deployments, as well as better collaboration and visibility across teams. Whether you're new to GitOps or looking to learn more about the latest best practices and tools, this video will provide valuable insights and information to help you implement GitOps in your own organization.

Those new to the Programming and DevOps world often find it challenging to start their journey due to the missing basic prerequisites. For example, issues with setting up a basic lab environment using VirtualBox, problems with networking, or trouble with working with the Linux CLI or text editors like vi editor. Sometimes there are issues with applications - like getting a sample application to work, problems with getting the dependencies to install correctly or trouble with getting a web server to communicate with a database server. Or, at other times, it's working with data formats like JSON or YAML.

So we have identified a gap, and we believe that this is due to missing some of the basic prerequisites, such as knowing the basics of Linux, the basics of tools like VirtualBox, or knowing the basics of the most commonly used applications like Java, Python or NodeJS or web servers like Apache, NGINX etc. As a DevOps or Cloud Engineer, it is crucial to have these basics cleared. And that’s why we are helping you to bridge that gap!

Mumshad - You always rocks!!. But little bit speed. Looking for flux CD course, Hope your team already working on it :)😀

[vasanthkumarvkr]

Great and crisp explanation, as always!! I have one question though. As Argo CD and Gitlab are based on GitOps, cant we use one over the other? I know Argo CD is specifically designed for continuous delivery and application deployment to Kubernetes but if I already have Gitlab CI/CD pipeline, do I still need to use Argo CD? Because I see Gitlab has support for K8s integration.

Atlantis can be open source tool push method for gitops

Hey Kodecloud - When will the course "GIT for Beginners" come to Udemy and Udemy for Business?

[danydanger]

Thanks For the video it’s really simple to understand, so where does Jenkins and Gitlab comes into play? Why wud a org have another node like Jenkins just for CICD when they can easily have the same pipeline feature from Gitlab-CICD or via GitActions ?

[geekaholic]

Recently started following the ArgoCD tutorial and its great. Would be good if there was also one on flux 2

[nilavasen]

Dear Mumshad, its really a nice video. I was not aware of gitOps, but now its bit clear to me. Can you please suggest me how is the job market for this trio using gitOps ( GIT + TF + Ansible) on any cloud like AWS ? I know the market of k8s is on high demand, but how about this IaaC Side jobs ? Thanks in advance !!

[ahuja-praveen]

Thanks for the video, but I have a question: How is GitOps different from Jenkins for Continuous Deployment? I understand we can use GitOps for IaC but when working on application deployment can't we utilize Jenkins for the same?
