GitOps

Definition

Deployment approach where infrastructure and application changes are managed through Git version control. Like using a blueprint repository where every change is tracked and can be reversed.

Real-World Example

Infrastructure changes are made by submitting pull requests to Git, which automatically updates the cloud environment when merged.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

GitOps is a practice (not a single cloud service). It’s typically implemented with Git hosting (e.g., GitHub/GitLab), CI/CD, and a GitOps controller such as Argo CD or Flux that continuously reconciles the running environment to match what’s declared in Git. All major clouds support GitOps through Kubernetes services and CI/CD integrations, but there is no one-to-one native service named “GitOps” across AWS, Azure, GCP, or OCI.
