GitOps As a Journey
summary
Open GitOps Working Group codifies four concrete principles—declarative, versioned and immutable, pulled automatically, continuously reconciled—and publishes them (open-gitops.dev, documents repo). Examples cite tools and patterns: Kubernetes, Flux, Argo CD, Terraform, Helm, OCI/object storage, SOPS/Sealed Secrets/Vault; teams report measurable gains: higher deploy frequency, fewer regressions, lower MTTR. The group formed with dozens of companies (Amazon, Azure, Codefresh, GitHub, Red Hat, Weaveworks), logged 40+ meeting hours and many co-authors; only a small percentage fully implements all four principles today.
