🔄 CI/CD has evolved—and GitOps is changing the game for modern infrastructure and app delivery.
Here’s the shift that matters:
📁 GitOps brings infra and app config into version control—no more guessing what’s running.
🧠 GitOps puts Git at the center—your single source of truth.
📦 GitOps = declarative + version-controlled infrastructure.
🔄 No more kubectl apply from local machines—clusters sync themselves.
✅ Git merges = deployments. Auditable. Reproducible. Safer.
📉 Less human error. More automation. Full visibility.
💥 If you’re using Kubernetes, GitOps isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the future of deployment.

We’re KodeKloud, the folks behind hands-on labs & “aha!” DevOps moments. In this Squad, we’ll drop technical gems, bite-sized learning, & cool resources to help you get better at the stuff you actually use.  Come for the content, stay for the nerdy!

GitOps represents an evolution in CI/CD practices that centralizes Git as the single source of truth for both infrastructure and application configurations. Unlike traditional DevOps approaches, GitOps uses declarative, version-controlled infrastructure that automatically syncs with clusters, eliminating manual kubectl commands. This approach provides better auditability, reproducibility, and safety by making Git merges equivalent to deployments, while reducing human error and increasing automation visibility.
