Why GitOps Matters
GitOps has emerged as a Kubernetes-native approach to continuous delivery that uses Git repositories as the single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and application management. This approach is natural for developers and suits a cloud-native ethos. This methodology streamlines deployments, enhances collaboration, and provides consistent environments across your organization.
However, open source GitOps tooling (like ArgoCD) focuses primarily on the deployment activities and leaves out the rest of continuous delivery - running the tests, security checks, and scans that help the team see if the latest changes should progress towards production or instead be rolled back. That can be left as an annoying exercise for the developers to wire up themselves. Harness integrates with the open source tools, manages them at scales, and brings powerful pipelines for all the missing pieces.
With Harness GitOps, you can:
- Automate deployments based on Git state changes
- Detect and remediate configuration drift
- Implement powerful governance controls without hampering developer productivity
- Efficiently manage deployments across multiple Kubernetes clusters
- Integrate with existing CI/CD workflows for a comprehensive software delivery solution
