Doing the Multi-Stage Deployment Pipelines in the GitOps Way

When we talk about CI/CD, we often think of it as an end to end, linear, process. However, with modern cloud native computing, this ceases to be the case. The reality is your pipelines are hyperdimensional with many branches that can also branch out. This becomes a challenge when dealing with GitOps. In the pursuit of ever-faster and more-frictionless application delivery, GitOps excels at continuous delivery to single environments. This talk will zero in on an alternative: patterns that address these challenges while remaining true to established GitOps principles – and an emerging open-source implementation of those patterns. Kargo promises to address these challenges in a declarative fashion while complementing GitOps practitioners’ current crop of favorite tools, such as Kustomize, Helm, Argo CD, and Flux.
