Course Overview
Modern cloud-native platforms require reliable and automated deployment workflows to maintain consistency and operational stability. GitOps is an operational model that uses Git repositories as the single source of truth for infrastructure and application configuration.
This mentor-led programme introduces the core principles of GitOps and how it supports automated deployment pipelines in Kubernetes and cloud-native environments. Learners explore Git-driven operations, declarative configuration management, and continuous delivery workflows used by modern platform engineering teams.
Through practical scenarios and guided exercises, participants learn how to implement GitOps workflows using tools such as Argo CD and Flux, maintain desired-state infrastructure, and manage application deployments through version-controlled repositories. By the end of the programme, learners will understand how GitOps improves operational reliability and automation in cloud environments.
