The Pros and Cons of GitOps

GitOps is an approach that takes familiar tools like Git and Continuous Delivery pipelines to automate infrastructure, providing a vendor-neutral, clear history of changes, and the ability to reproduce or roll back deployments. The underlying Git protocol is open source, lightweight, and usable on various platforms. It uses familiar tools and processes, bringing developers and operations teams closer together by allowing developers to get on with their work while operations focus on quality service work. However, GitOps has its limitations, including not addressing bad practices, proliferating repositories, lacking help for secrets management, and being hard to audit as applications scale. To determine if GitOps is right for you, consider resolving development and operations teams' responsibilities and interactions, scaling GitOps with a strategy that encompasses the needs of multiple teams and applications, or considering an Internal Developer Platform that addresses these concerns.
