As always, clear and cogent information with no wasted time. Thank you.

This the only video one needs to watch to know what GitOps is all about. Great explanation Nana. Thanks.

[zlonux]

Thanks Nana for the great video! Honestly, i don't know why 'gitops' appers as a separate direction, because as soon as you treat your infrastructure as a code, you have to apply all practices that you use for developers code i.e. vcs, build pipelines, tests, stages etc. - because it's a code. But, how to build your 'build' infrastructure as code (egg or chicken:))

Presenting and explaining complex concepts in a simplified and easily understandable manner is your superpower! Thank you!

[bhagarenikhil]

I read many articles but did not find any article in which concepts are explained in a clear and crisp manner. You are awesome!

A pattern we are using is to apply to a very low environment (e.g., dev or a devops dev env) from the PR itself. This allows teams to test the apply of their PR before merging to main and helps catch "apply time" errors. One challenge you have with this is that multiple PRs can overwrite each other's test apply maybe before the first one has been completely validated. To support this we put have a standing rule if there is an open PR < 2 hours old, hold off creating yours, or talk to the requestor first. If its over 2 hours, go for it unless you are nice then go talk to them first. Since we have composed our repos around teams there is rarely a conflict.

Thank you Nana for clear and crisp explanation. It clearly shows your passion for tech!

Love this video! You did a great job explaining IAC. XaC was a new concept to me, but I may use this in the future. Also, I appreciated the clear way in which you described the natural evolution of IAC, why the local dev pattern is flawed, and how we solve that with git-managed pipelines.

Thank you! GitOps is really valuable for AI research teams as well. Most of the time, blockers in development are caused by limitations in the infra and the turn around time before requirements are applied are usually long because of submitting ticket requests and discussions just so infra managers can do the changes.

[michaelpacheco]

Amazing and clean explanation. Straight to the point!
One question: why the need of a separate git repository? Why not the same production code repository?

[vipinmittal]

Wow Nana. I am falling in love with these videos. why I found these videos so late. Thank you so much for these detailed concepts explanations. your videos are exactly what I needed at this point of time. Thank you. Please don't stop.

[eversuju]

wow! Thank you so much for this review Nana! Super helpful and I finally understand why some people choose to use jenkins versus argocd! Thank you so much!

[gabrielarodriguez]

Thanks Nana!!, this is what I was looking for, you made it easy to understand! :)

[travelvidme]

Loved the video. Simple... Powerful and very visual. I watch every day to gain small amount of wonderful knowledge

[stuffedcode]

Great explanation on what GitOps is! Loved the CD integration part explanation, it's spot on!

[aaen]

These videos are great Nana. Thank you so much

[sivakumar-hsrd]

Cristal clear explanation thank you Nana

[marabgc]

I just discovered your channel and it's really really helping me begin to understand all this concepts and technologies! Thank you so so much, your videos are wonderful

[mohzaher]

Many thanks for the video Nana. A really very exciting feature for sys admins and net admins.

Could you please consider a video that explains your ideas about SRE role? Ironically I found many professionals who don’t really know what an SRE is!!
