Is GitOps the next big thing in automation?

GitOps is an operational framework that adapts DevOps best practices, such as version control, collaboration, compliance, and CI/CD, to automate IT infrastructure management effectively. It uses infrastructure as code (IaC) with configuration files stored in version control systems, allowing teams to make changes via merge requests and deploy them through CI/CD pipelines. This approach reduces human error, fosters collaboration, and increases transparency by aligning infrastructure management with application development processes. As GitOps gains traction, a recent GitLab poll found that 23.8% of respondents are already using it, 10.6% plan to implement it, and 11.6% have explored it but not committed yet, while 54% are still unfamiliar with the concept. Although GitOps is not limited to Kubernetes, its principles can be applied to various types of infrastructure automation, and as organizations increasingly recognize its potential, GitOps could herald a significant shift in how infrastructure is managed.
