Is it GitOps or DevOps? Stop choosing between them. Learn how DevOps culture and GitOps workflows work together to automate Kubernetes, eliminate drift, and accelerate software delivery.

Dive into the ultimate FluxCD vs. ArgoCD debate! Learn the differences between these top GitOps tools (CLI vs. UI, toolkit vs. platform) and discover a third path: Qovery, the DevOps automation platform that abstracts away Kubernetes complexity, handles infrastructure, and lets you ship code faster.

Harness GitOps extends Argo CD by preserving its reconciliation loop while adding governance, audit, and RBAC through the GitOps Agent’s secure connection to Harness SaaS. Teams can choose Harness-managed or bring-your-own Argo CD and scale to multi-cluster fleets with unified dashboards, promotion pipelines, and true rollback, while Git stays the single source of truth.

If you are part of an engineering team, monitoring the performance of your CI/CD pipelines is a high priority. With the SquaredUp GitHub plugin you can view key metrics for your GitHub repos and workflows all within a single pane of glass. We also have plugins for Jira, Circle CI, Azure DevOps and more. So even if you are using many different tools you can still get an end to end view of your processes.

Deploying microservice-based applications with Kubernetes can be a complex process—more services translate to more Kubernetes resources, pipelines, and service dependencies.

Integrating Cloudsmith, a cloud-native artifact management platform, with Codefresh enhances your CI/CD workflows in several significant ways. Read this blog to learn more about this powerful combination, and its automation of artifact handling and simplification of deployments!

With the increasing adoption of Kubernetes in recent years, there are various means and tools for achieving continuous delivery to Kubernetes. While it is possible to create a consistent CI/CD pipeline up to deploying to Kubernetes using CI/CD tools like CircleCI, there has been a rise in cases combining dedicated CD tools like FluxCD and ArgoCD to achieve this as well. A common aspect among these CD-dedicated tools is their adoption of GitOps.

GitOps is a framework that combines the principles of software development and continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD) to automate and manage application configurations and infrastructure using Git.

This blog will be the second in a three-part blog series where we explore the benefits of the GitOps practice, how to get the most from GitOps, and how to measure and maintain success. Here is what you can expect from the series: We’ll dive into the practice of GitOps in this blog, defining and understanding what an efficient workflow can produce. Here you’ll put the principles of GitOps into practice, exploring how infrastructure as code (IaC) can help you get more done with fewer resources.

GitOps is a game-changer for managing infrastructure and deployments using Git as the single source of truth. It makes DevOps processes more efficient, reliable, and traceable. For developers and organizations, GitOps not only speeds up development but also improves security and compliance. Today, I’ll break down what GitOps is, why it’s important, and review some top GitOps tools to help you on your journey.
