GitOps applies Git workflows to infrastructure and application management, turning Git into the single source of truth for deployments and desired system state. In this video, we break down how GitOps works, why it matters, and the benefits teams unlock by adopting a declarative, Git-driven approach. You'll learn how GitOps uses pull requests, continuous reconciliation, and declarative configuration to automate deployments, prevent drift, and improve reliability. We also cover the biggest challenges — from learning curve to multi-environment consistency — and clarify how GitOps relates to DevOps as a whole.
