GitOps as an Evolution of Kubernetes

Brendan Burns, co-founder of Kubernetes, spoke at The Linux Foundation’s GitOpsCon about how GitOps is an evolutionary step for Kubernetes. GitOps is no longer just about leading into the deployment that Kubernetes orchestrates but the entire journey — from sourcing configurations to deploying them into the world where Kubernetes can utilize them.

The beauty of GitOps lies in its scalability, empowering developers to efficiently deploy their code without having to deal with the number of clusters in their organization or their specific locations.

Both CI/CD pipelines and GitOps have their strengths, and understanding their value in the container context and its interplay with traditional CI systems can significantly enhance efficiency and productivity in a Kubernetes-orchestrated world.
