GitOps is an efficient way to automate infrastructure and app deployments that leverages Git as a single source of truth. By being declarative, it provides for better standardization, enhanced security, and ultimately, improved productivity. 

GitOps pipelines can contain multiple stages that are executed sequentially. For production environments, organizations can optionally incorporate a manual approval stage in the pipeline to ensure an authorized user has to review and approve the changes before the workloads are automatically updated on remote clusters. For environments requiring agile development cycles, users can go from a Git push to an updated application on managed clusters in seconds—100+ times a day. This is particularly suited for developer environments where updates are very frequent. 

In this presentation, we demonstrate how an open source GitOps service can provide infrastructure orchestration and application deployment through multi-stage, git-triggered pipelines and more. Attendees will learn how to programmatically construct multi-stage pipelines for both applications and clusters, fully automate deployments and remove error-prone, manual steps. You will learn how to guarantee that the desired state specified in your Git repos are instantly enforced on Kubernetes clusters, how to implement easy-to-use controls enabling developers and operations teams to collaborate, and be able to deliver modern applications faster without sacrificing enterprise-level governance.
