GitOps revolutionizes modern application deployment by making Git the single source of truth for infrastructure and application changes. This session will take you step-by-step through the entire GitOps pipeline, demonstrating how to automate deployments from the moment code is committed to GitHub all the way to production rollout in Kubernetes.

We will start with a commit, triggering a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline that automatically builds, tests, and validates the application. Once successfully tested, we will build container images and push them to a container registry, making the application portable and deployment-ready.

Using ArgoCD, we’ll sync the application to a staging Kubernetes cluster and automate the deployment process through Continuous Deployment (CD). Finally, we’ll explore a canary deployment strategy, demonstrating how to safely roll out changes to production with minimal risk. By the end of the session, you’ll have a practical understanding of GitOps, seeing firsthand how Git commits drive deployments in a fully automated CI/CD pipeline.
