Dinesh Chittibala

Abstract: In the rapidly evolving landscape of software development, the integration of GitOps with DevOps practices marks a major paradigm shift. To improve operational efficiency, enforce compliance, and optimize Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, this article examines the GitOps methodology, a Git - based approach to Configuration Management. Through a thorough examination of GitOps' foundational ideas, practical applications, and methodology, this study seeks to offer a thorough grasp of how GitOps transforms and revolutionalizes configuration management and enhances DevOps procedures.
