GitOps - the holy grail of devops

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

Claims GitOps makes Git the single source of truth and forces all infra changes via pull requests, using Kubernetes control loops to reconcile declared vs running state. Practical stack shown: Git as canonical source of truth, reconcilers like Argo CD / Flux CD installed as CRDs/operators, and secret handling with sealed-secrets or Vault. Repo layout recommendation: one repo, branches per environment, protected branches and code review. Presenter reports a real-world restore in ~15 minutes and a planned live demo fails due to laptop issues so session becomes Q&A.
