GitOps combines Git and Operations to apply continuous deployment to cloud-native applications using Git as the single source of truth for infrastructure and applications. Benefits include consistency, traceability, security, faster recovery, and improved developer experience. Argo CD and Flux CD are popular tools for implementing GitOps, with step-by-step installation guides provided for both. Best practices include separating build and deployment processes, handling secrets carefully, and using tools like Kustomize and Helm to simplify Kubernetes configurations.
