In the ever-evolving landscape of software development and IT operations, GitOps has emerged as a powerful approach that’s transforming how organizations manage their infrastructure and deploy applications. By leveraging the principles of DevOps and the ubiquity of Git version control, GitOps offers a streamlined, secure, and highly efficient method for managing cloud-native environments.
