From DevOps to GitOps: Supercharging Your Kubernetes Workload Deployments
summary
Demonstrates a concrete GitOps pipeline that uses Flux bootstrap to reconcile a Git repo with a Kubernetes cluster on a ~15‑minute loop, shows repo layouts (one folder per app, monorepo, per‑environment), explains branch-and-PR workflow with codeowners and protected main, uses sealed-secrets for encrypted secrets, compares alternatives like Argo CD and Jenkins X, and covers rollback mechanics via git revert plus squash merges to keep reconciliation fast and auditable while scaling to many clusters.
