GitOps the Planet #16: Using SLOs to Improve Software Delivery

Kit Merker is the one of the original product managers for Kubernetes and now Chief Growth Officer at Nobl9 where they're delivering a new open standard called OpenSlo. SLOs, or service-level-objectives, provide a framework for understanding performance targets and making judgements about software changes and how they impact uptime. But it's not just a standard, it's also code. Come find out about it with Kit in this GitOps the Planet!

ClickOps over GitOps - Civo Navigate NA 2023

In this presentation, Laszlo Fogas, the founder of Gimlet.io, introduces "ClickOps over GitOps." Discover how ClickOps revolutionizes cloud operations, enabling infrastructure as code changes with dashboard actions. Learn about the benefits of this approach, its role in platform engineering, and see practical use cases with live demos. Streamline your DevOps processes and avoid configuration drift by exploring ClickOps in this Navigate NA 2023 talk.

GitOps the Planet #15: AI Comes to Kubernetes with Alex Jones

The first real application for AI and LLMs has come to Kubernetes in the form of K8sGPT, a cli that can be used to help operators understand exactly what's going on with their clusters. Our guest, Alex Jones, is the creator of K8sGPT and we'll talk about how the project started, where it's seeing the biggest uses, and where AI will impact DevOps in the future. Don't miss this revolutionary GitOps the Planet!

GitOps the Planet #14: Building Open Source Communities with Itay Shakury

Itay is the VP Open Source at Aqua Security and CNCF Ambassador. In this GitOps the Planet, we'll discuss open source, dev advocacy, community and how we approach these open source roles. Open source lives at the intersection of community and business, striking the right balance and tone is critical to having a sustainable project with strong community buy-in to serve as the foundation for successful businesses. Come hear all about it!

GitOps: An Introductory Guide

This post was written by Pete Osah, a software developer who is familiar with web technologies, passionate about new software technologies, and keen on developing ways to pass knowledge to others in a simple manner. Thanks to new technologies, developers can release software and features to production at a faster pace and with greater efficiency. But maintaining software dependability and integrity requires having the necessary tools in place.

Benefits of GitOps in IT app development

Benefits of GitOps in IT monitoring The GitOps model has gained popularity as a software development approach. It enables IT teams to deliver higher-quality software faster and more efficiently. By streamlining and automating the development process, GitOps provides substantial productivity improvements while ensuring comprehensive observability for monitoring and control.

Merging to Main #2: Is GitOps Just a FAD?

Adopting GitOps is an adventure worth exploring, but it requires careful consideration of your existing development practices, CI/CD automation, infrastructure, and engineering culture. Like any CI/CD modernization, the benefits are significant, but finding the right balance between the amount of change, the timeline, and the potential for improvement can be tricky. In addition, you also must ensure that your teams receive training on the core principles of GitOps and the new process. So with that in mind - is it all worth it? Is GitOps just another FAD that you should ignore?

GitOps The Planet #10: Demystifying SBOMs and Their Impact on CI/CD Software Delivery

Before cloud-native controlling components delivered was in some ways "easier" in that ops teams could limit which components were available on nodes. With containerization, the ops problem became harder while the dev side became easier. Now SBOMS (software bill of materials) are becoming critical to software supply chain risk management. In this episode, GitOps the Planet Alum, Christian Hernandez will join to walk us through SBOMS, how we should be using them, and how they help improve software security.
