GitOps is an operational framework that takes DevOps best practices used for application development such as version control, collaboration, compliance, and CI/CD, and applies them to infrastructure automation.
GitOps borrows some ideas from DevOps and combines Git (the version control system) and operations (the resource management aspect of software development). Like DevOps, GitOps uses the existing processes of infrastructure as code (IaC), version control, code reviews, and CI/CD pipelines.
GitOps is not limited to Kubernetes. In principle, you can use any infrastructure that can be observed and described declaratively, and has Infrastructure as Code tools available. However, currently most operators for pull-based GitOps are implemented with Kubernetes in mind.
The benefits of GitOps workflows
- A Git version control system enhances security and compliance.
- Established best practices enhance collaboration and productivity.
- Automation improves the developer experience and reduces cost.
- Continuous integrations leads to faster development and deployment
GitOps Certified Professional (GOCP) certification program is desined for professional who want to learn and excel in GitOps domain.

Great announcement! This post clearly explains how GitOps extends DevOps best practices like version control, automation, and collaboration into infrastructure management — something that’s becoming essential in modern cloud‑native environments. GitOps helps teams maintain a declarative, auditable, and reproducible system state using Git as the source of truth, which leads to fewer errors and more reliable deployments. While certifications like GOCP (and industry standards like the GitOps Associate credential from CNCF and Linux Foundation) can help professionals validate their understanding of GitOps principles and workflows, real‑world GitOps skills also come from hands‑on experience with tools like Argo CD, Flux, and other reconciliation engines that continuously sync desired and actual system state. Platforms that combine theory with practical labs can make learning GitOps more effective and immediately applicable to enterprise CI/CD and infrastructure automation.
