GitOps Push and Pull Approach
Blog post from Harness
GitOps is a modern approach to software delivery that positions Git as the single source of truth for application deployment, offering both push and pull methodologies to enhance deployment reliability and efficiency. The push approach automates deployment pipelines triggered by code changes, while the pull approach employs agents to sync changes from Git repositories to ensure the desired and actual states of the system are aligned. This approach is gaining traction, particularly with Kubernetes deployments, due to its ability to simplify complex software delivery processes, streamline workflows, and enhance collaboration by integrating development and operations. Tools like ArgoCD and FluxCD have contributed to its growing popularity, and platforms like Harness offer practical solutions to implement GitOps strategies. As organizations continue to seek increased agility and scalability, GitOps is emerging as a key player in the evolving software delivery landscape, promising remarkable speed, reliability, and adaptability benefits.
