1. About this Course and Certification
The GitOps Course and Certification offered by aiuniverse in collaboration with DevOpsSchool.com is designed to equip IT professionals with a deep understanding of the GitOps methodology. This course will help participants leverage Git to manage Kubernetes clusters, automate deployments, and achieve continuous delivery pipelines.
GitOps empowers organizations to adopt modern DevOps practices through declarative infrastructure and continuous deployment automation, offering streamlined and reliable operational management. This certification program provides hands-on labs, expert guidance, and a certification that is globally recognized, making it ideal for those who want to advance their DevOps and cloud-native careers.
2. What is GitOps?
GitOps is a paradigm that leverages Git as the single source of truth for both application and infrastructure code. It enables continuous delivery (CD) by automating the deployment of applications and the management of infrastructure in Kubernetes environments.
Key Tools Covered in This Course:
- Flux: A continuous delivery solution for Kubernetes that ensures clusters are in sync with configuration stored in Git.
- ArgoCD: A declarative, GitOps-based continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes that allows automation of Kubernetes deployment workflows.
- Helm: A Kubernetes package manager that simplifies application management.
- Terraform: Infrastructure as code tool for automating cloud infrastructure.
- Kustomize: A Kubernetes-native configuration management tool that allows declarative management of applications.
These tools form the backbone of modern GitOps workflows and are crucial for maintaining consistency and reliability in Kubernetes environments.
3. Why GitOps is Important
GitOps is gaining traction in the cloud-native ecosystem for several reasons:
- Version Control for Everything: By managing both application code and infrastructure as code (IaC) in Git, it provides an auditable, version-controlled system for the entire DevOps process.
- Automated Deployment Pipelines: GitOps tools enable continuous deployment, reducing manual intervention and human error.
- Improved Collaboration: DevOps teams can collaborate more effectively by treating infrastructure as code, where changes are tracked, peer-reviewed, and tested.
- Scalability: GitOps practices scale well with Kubernetes, making it an essential framework for organizations deploying large-scale cloud-native applications.
- Consistency and Reliability: GitOps ensures that the system’s actual state always matches the desired state defined in Git, thus reducing configuration drift and increasing operational consistency.
