GitOps has transformed how we manage Kubernetes workloads, bringing the power of declarative infrastructure, version control, and automated reconciliation to application deployments. But why stop there? This session takes GitOps beyond its traditional boundaries to explore how declarative principles can be applied across the entire software delivery and infrastructure lifecycle.
At its core, GitOps treats Git as the single source of truth and uses automated agents to reconcile the desired and actual states of systems. While tools like Argo CD and Flux have become standard for application delivery, a new wave of GitOps patterns is extending these principles to areas such as infrastructure-as-code, cloud security policies, compliance automation, and FinOps. By leveraging GitOps for more than just app deployment, organizations gain greater consistency, transparency, auditability, and faster recovery across their tech stack.
