GITOPS EVOLUTION IN ENTERPRISE PLATFORM ENGINEERING: FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE
Keywords:
GitOps Implementation, Enterprise Platform Engineering, Infrastructure Automation, Continuous Deployment, DevOps TransformationAbstract
This comprehensive article examines the evolution of GitOps in enterprise platform engineering, exploring its transformation from theoretical concepts to practical implementation strategies. The article explores how GitOps is revolutionizing traditional deployment methods through declarative infrastructure management and automated reconciliation processes. The article demonstrates significant improvements in deployment reliability, security compliance, and operational efficiency across cloud-native environments. By analyzing real-world implementations of tools like FluxCD and Crossplane, the article provides insights into scaling practices, team structures, and multi-cluster management strategies. The findings highlight how GitOps addresses critical challenges in modern infrastructure management while enabling enhanced security automation and cross-cloud standardization.
