GitOps has caused quite some fuss on Twitter and KubeCon, and still continues to do so. This book aggregates the essence of GitOps to help clear up the confusion. This book answers the following questions: What is GitOps? Why should I use GitOps? How does GitOps work? How to get started with GitOps on Kubernetes? What's the Future of GitOps? Early Praise"Software development nowadays requires to be fast and iterative, infrastructure needs to adapt and evolve with the same velocity. GitOps is fundamental for modern infrastructure implementation. With GitOps your source of truth is one or more Git repositories, your process is automated and, most likely, your infrastructure is implemented in a declarative manner. For over four years I've been helping companies implementing GitOps. In this book, you find a great introduction to GitOps and how to apply it to real-world use cases with great hands-on examples." Vincenzo Ferme, Cloud Native Tech Lead at Kiratech "GitOps - Cloud-native Continuous Deployment is at the heart of modern Cloud development, automation is king and efficiency is what you get. This GitOps book is very much the same as GitOps development: nice and handy." Dr. Andreas Schönberger, Founder Lion5 GmbH "Informative and concise introduction to a neat CI/CD method built around Git." Dr. Michael Oberparleiter, Software consultant at TNG Technology Consulting

Build CD pipelines following GitOps principles like declarative and immutable changes stored in version control, all continuously reconciled by Argo CD, and minimize the failure of deployments. Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free eBook in the PDF format. Key FeaturesDiscover how to apply GitOps principles to build real-world CD pipelinesUnderstand Argo CD components and how they work together to reconcile cloud native applicationsLearn to run Argo CD in production with declarative config changes, security, observability, disaster recovery, and moreBook Description GitOps follows the practices of infrastructure as code (IaC), allowing developers to use their day-to-day tools and practices such as source control and pull requests to manage apps. With this book, you'll understand how to apply GitOps bootstrap clusters in a repeatable manner, build CD pipelines for cloud-native apps running on Kubernetes, and minimize the failure of deployments. You'll start by installing Argo CD in a cluster, setting up user access using single sign-on, performing declarative configuration changes, and enabling observability and disaster recovery. Once you have a production-ready setup of Argo CD, you'll explore how CD pipelines can be built using the pull method, how that increases security, and how the reconciliation process occurs when multi-cluster scenarios are involved. Next, you'll go through the common troubleshooting scenarios, from installation to day-to-day operations, and learn how performance can be improved. Later, you'll explore the tools that can be used to parse the YAML you write for deploying apps. You can then check if it is valid for new versions of Kubernetes, verify if it has any security or compliance misconfigurations, and that it follows the best practices for cloud-native apps running on Kubernetes. By the end of this book, you'll be able to build a real-world CD pipeline using Argo CD. What you will learnUnderstand GitOps principles and how they relate to IaCDiscover how Argo CD lays the foundation for reconciling Git state with the cluster stateRun Argo CD in production with an emphasis on reliability and troubleshootingBootstrap Kubernetes clusters with essential utilities following the GitOps approachSet up a CD pipeline and minimize the failure of deploymentsExplore ways to verify and validate the YAML you put together when working with KubernetesUnderstand the democratization of GitOps and how the GitOps engine will enable its further adoptionWho this book is for If you're a software developer, DevOps engineer, or SRE who is responsible for building CD pipelines for projects running on Kubernetes and wants to advance in your career, this book is for you.
