The Intersection of CD Gates and GitOps: A Match Made in Deployment Heaven
summary
Claims that GitOps equals automatic pushes are false: GitOps supports staged pipelines with GitHub Actions building and versioning images (demo bumped 0.16→0.17), pushing to ECR, Helm values per environment, and Argo CD reconciling Dev then Prod with a manual PR as a CD gate. Demo shows Jira ticket linkage via Jira integration, Argo post-sync hooks (one required manual sync due to a bug), and guidance on SSH auth, branch protection and compliance for regulated industries.
