## 摘要

> Victor Etkin presents an introduction to GitOps, explaining how it complements DevOps. GitOps applies software development principles to deployment processes, potentially resolving challenges like failed deployments and configuration inconsistencies.

Key benefits of GitOps:
*   Increased developer productivity using familiar tools.
*   Minimized failed deployments with easy rollback capabilities.
*   Faster feature releases.
*   Real-time auditing and improved security through Git's features.

GitOps uses Git workflows, CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code. Observability is crucial for ensuring the desired and actual states align. GitOps is often used with Kubernetes but can be applied elsewhere.

The four principles of GitOps: declarative configuration, version control, CD process separation, and incremental infrastructure implementation. Git serves as the primary tool, storing deployment infrastructure and application configurations. A GitOps controller reconciles the Git state with the actual system state. *The only tool a developer needs to know is Git.*

The goal is full automation, with code changes deployed safely in minutes. CI and CD should be decoupled. A basic GitOps workflow for Kubernetes involves developers committing code, creating container images, storing deployment configurations in Git, monitoring changes via a GitOps agent, and rolling out images to environments.

CI focuses on building and analyzing code, while CD focuses on deploying binaries. Separating CI and CD enhances security. CD tools can run inside container platforms like Kubernetes for added security.

GitOps enables on-demand incremental deployment, benefiting microservices architectures. CD processes require an IDEMPOTENT platform like Kubernetes. *An IDEMPOTENT operation is one that can be applied multiple times without changing the result beyond the initial application.*

CD processes can be implemented using push or pull models. The pull model, which monitors both Git and the target system, is recommended for GitOps. Human intervention is still needed for issues like resource failures. GitOps simplifies operations, allowing developers to focus on more valuable activities.

GitOps is a logical evolution of DevOps, simplifying adoption and enhancing portability. Git commit logs become audit trails, streamlining compliance.
