Introduction to GitOps

SHOW: 70 SHOW OVERVIEW: Brian talks with Alexis Richardson (@monadic, CEO @weaveworks) about the emerging concepts and technology behind “GitOps”. SHOW NOTES: Gitops at Weave Works [video] GitOps - Git push all the things OperatorHub SHOW TOPICS: Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us about your background both at Weave and your involvement in the CNCF. Topic 2 - Weave really started evangelizing this concept of “GitOps”. For anyone that isn’t familiar, walk us through the basics building blocks. Topic 3 - Git becomes the CMDB (single source of truth, single source for compliance). Developers push code (Git > CI/CD). CI/CD system builds containers and deploys to Kubernetes. What assumptions does this model make about the underlying infrastructure operations? Topic 4 - Let’s talk about the separation of interests between the CI system and the CD system and how this impacts security. Topic 5 - Let’s talk about the role of Operators in a GitOps environment. Operators (today) tend to be more focused on stateful applications, so how does this link into developer code? FEEDBACK? Email: PodCTL at gmail dot com Twitter: @PodCTL Web: http://podctl.com
