What is a GitOps workflow?

GitOps is an operational framework that takes DevOps best practices used for application development, such as version control and CI/CD, and applies them to infrastructure automation.

Can I use this for multi-cluster management?

Absolutely. It includes the 'App of Apps' pattern and repository structures specifically designed for multi-environment and multi-cluster scaling.

Does this skill support both ArgoCD and Flux?

Yes, it provides detailed implementation guides, installation steps, and manifest patterns for both leading GitOps tools.

How does this handle sensitive data in Git?

The skill includes patterns for Secret Management using External Secrets Operator and Sealed Secrets to ensure credentials are never stored in plain text.

What are the benefits of continuous reconciliation?

It ensures that the actual state of your cluster always matches the desired state defined in Git, automatically fixing manual changes or configuration drift.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates Kubernetes deployments using GitOps principles with ArgoCD and Flux CD for declarative infrastructure management.

About

This skill streamlines the implementation of GitOps workflows in Kubernetes environments, enabling automated, declarative, and versioned deployments. It provides comprehensive patterns for setting up ArgoCD and Flux, managing repository structures, configuring sync policies, and handling progressive delivery strategies like Canary and Blue-Green deployments. Whether you are bootstrapping a new cluster or migrating to automated reconciliation, this skill ensures your infrastructure stays in sync with your Git repositories while following OpenGitOps best practices.
