"You don't need CD anymore, GitOps replaces it." The reality? You need both. The OpenGitOps principles clearly define what GitOps is—and what it is not. GitOps owns the last mile of delivery: declarative state, pull-based reconciliation, and drift detection. But CD covers everything leading up to (and surrounding) that moment—builds, security scans, policy checks, pre- and post-deployment validation, approvals, RBAC, notifications, and day-2 operations. In this session, we’ll draw clear lines of demarcation and show how to integrate CD and GitOps without discarding 15 years of hard-earned delivery best practices.
