The New Stack Makers Virtual Pancake Breakfast + Podcast: Securing GitOps: Self

GitOps is the next step for many organizations to deliver faster features and better transparency and DX for developers. It allows for better oversight and synchronization of application states.

• GitOps is a push-based system that allows for better transparency and DX for developers
• It enables better oversight and synchronization of application states
• It reduces the window of exposure and disaster rate
• Security needs to adopt an engineering mindset and adopt best practices to reduce exposure
• Kubernetes is becoming the de facto standard for container world

The speaker mentioned that with the previous pool-based system, there were often differences between staging and production environments, resulting in multiple commits being pushed at the same time, increasing the disaster rate. With GitOps, there is always awareness of the delta and the ability to synchronize and reconcile the state of applications.

GitOps is as hot as a campfire griddle! So cook up some hot cakes as we discuss GitOps and all that makes it hot, hot, hot! Join us for a short stack with The New Stack and sponsor Accurics to get all of your questions answered about GitOps — the movement that is defining how teams are achieving the world of desired state. TNS Founder and Publisher Alex Williams will moderate an expert panel and take as many questions as we can answer from you and our worldwide virtual audience. Our panelists will offer their explanation and analysis about how pull request automation practices have emerged, why Infrastructure as Code is integral to GitOps practices, and how open source projects are emerging. Argo CD, Flux, Atlantis, Tekton, Kaniko, Skaffold and Terrascan can be used to create GitOps workflows with security and compliance baked in. Bring your questions for a chance to win a custom TNS spatula!
