Best Practices for Implementing GitOps at Scale: The Move Towards Cloud-Native | Kim-Norman Sahm
Learn best practices for implementing GitOps at scale, balancing simplicity and flexibility, and discover the essential tools and strategies for cloud-native infrastructure management and DevOps culture shift.
- Implementing GitOps at scale requires a thoughtful approach that balances the need for simplicity with the need for flexibility.
- GitOps is not just about automation, but also about culture and mindset shift towards declarative infrastructure management.
- Infrastructure as code (IaC) is essential for consistency and reproducibility, and Terraform is a popular choice for IaC.
- Flux CD is another tool that can be used for continuous deployment and scalability.
- Git ignore files are crucial for preventing sensitive information from being committed to Git.
- Automation is key to streamlining workflows and reducing manual effort, but it’s essential to avoid over-automation.
- Cloud-native computing is on the rise, and Kubernetes is its enabling technology.
- Git is the single source of truth for infrastructure management, and it’s essential to store all configuration files and variables in source control.
- Secrets and sensitive data should never be stored in Git, and a secret store like Vault can be used to manage passwords and licenses.
- DevOps is not just about technology, but also about culture and mindset shift towards collaboration and continuous improvement.
- Investments in APM, logging, monitoring, and backup are essential for ensuring the reliability and scalability of cloud-native applications.
