Learn to integrate and implement GitOps framework, tools (like Kubernetes, Openshift, Docker, ArgoCD, Terraform, OpenTofu, and Helm), and best practices across AWS and Azure cloud platforms, ensuring reduced complexity and cost, and enhanced reliability in your cloud-native infrastructure and application deployments

Key Features

• Master GitOps basic and advanced concepts for efficient cloud-native architectural design and application deployment
• Easily set up GitOps workflows for Kubernetes, integrate CI/CD pipelines, and optimize deployment strategies
• Hands-on continuous deployment using GitHub, Helm, Kubernetes, Terraform, Github Actions, and GitOps tools along with best practices

Book Description

Leverage the GitOps framework to address significant cloud-native software delivery challenges like preventing configuration and data drifts between deployed systems and Git repository, and ensuring rapid, secure, and error-free application deployments. This book aids in mastering the actionable GitOps practices based on industry-tested scenarios for automated and secure Kubernetes deployments. This book introduces GitOps core concepts and principles and then delves into how to integrate version control and GitOps tools like Argo CD, Flux CD, Helm, and Kustomize with Kubernetes. You’ll learn about scaling GitOps across multiple clusters, architectural designs for efficient cloud-native operations, and the cultural transformation needed to support GitOps adoption within an organization. You’ll be able to automate infrastructure and implement CI/CD processes on OpenShift, Azure, and AWS platforms using GitOps, Terraform, OpenTofu, and Argo CD. You’ll explore examples and best practices for integrating observability, enhancing security, managing financial operations (FinOps), and future trends like AI and sustainability in GitOps. After reading this book, you’ll be skilled at applying GitOps strategies for consistent and robust deployments on Kubernetes and cloud platforms, thereby amplifying your productivity and efficiency.
