Old IT is dead - GitOps & AI are burying it
Blog post from Fleet
In the wake of significant advancements in AI technology around November 2025, the integration of AI in IT has become transformative, especially in the realm of device management with platforms like Fleet, an open-source tool that leverages GitOps for structured and transparent management. Unlike the cumbersome and opaque processes of "Old IT," Fleet's code-centric approach allows AI to read, reason, and interact with its open, coherent API, offering a more secure and efficient alternative to traditional GUI-based management systems, as exemplified by the Microsoft Intune breach. The AI's ability to think ahead and propose solutions tailored to specific environments, while maintaining human oversight through pull requests and reviews, showcases its capability to streamline repetitive tasks and allow IT professionals to focus on more complex and creative challenges. This shift towards open-source, AI-assisted IT management heralds a new era of transparency and collaboration, where AI serves as a powerful ally rather than a replacement, enabling practitioners to exploit its strengths while maintaining control over critical decision-making processes.
