Introduction to GitOps

Most organizations are facing ever-tightening budgets, while demands on Marketing and Communications (MarComm) increase at an even greater rate. Combine MarComm's need for agility and speed with IT's desire for long-term stability, and you end up with a recipe for frustration, in-fighting, and ultimately missed opportunities. How can institutions balance these competing demands, while also facing a budget shortage? Enter GitOps, an evolution of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and DevOps best practices.

In this session, they will

• Explore the idea of GitOps, using Git as the single source of truth
• Discuss the principles, processes, and practices of building a GitOps workflow
• Explore if GitOps is right for your team (if your infrastructure is already in the cloud, then the answer is most likely "yes")
• Demonstrate how GitOps can empower your MarComm developers to respond to requests faster, improve security and reliability, and ultimately do more with less.
