## What is GitOps? 



GitOps is a way to do Kubernetes cluster management and application delivery.

It works by using [Git](https://git-scm.com/) as a single source of truth for

[declarative infrastructure and applications](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure_as_code),

together with tools ensuring the _actual state_ of infrastructure and

applications converges towards the _desired state_ declared in Git. With Git at

the center of your delivery pipelines, developers can make pull requests to

accelerate and simplify application deployments and operations tasks to your

infrastructure or container-orchestration system (e.g. [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/)).

## Why is GitOps awesome? 



It [increases developer productivity](https://www.weave.works/technologies/gitops/#key-benefits), [enhances developer experience](https://www.weave.works/technologies/gitops/#key-benefits), [improves stability](https://www.weave.works/technologies/gitops/#key-benefits), all while having [higher reliability](https://www.weave.works/technologies/gitops/#key-benefits), [higher consistency](https://www.weave.works/technologies/gitops/#key-benefits) and [stronger security guarantees](https://www.weave.works/technologies/gitops/#key-benefits).



Modern software development practices _assume_ support for reviewing changes, tracking history, comparing versions, and rolling back bad updates; GitOps applies the same tooling and engineering perspective to managing the systems that deliver direct business value to users and customers.
