going to production? ● What is the worst, best, and average lead time (period starting from a developer performing a commit until the time it actually reached production) of the previous 2 months production ​without any human intervention​. You are practicing Continuous Deployment if as a developer you can commit something Friday afternoon and then immediately start your weekend. In a few minutes automation As we explained in ​our CI/CD/CDP article​, Continuous Delivery is the process where each developer commit results in a release candidate that is ready to be sent to production. GitOps and Continuous

BUILDING & MANAGING INTERNAL PLATFORMS Internal platforms are a great way to enable an outstanding developer experience. GitOps is the best way to enable this platform approach. These two sentences are a a concise summary of the key ideas in this paper. In the last few years, the role of the developer has changed drastically. The “benevolent dictator for life” of any given codebase is being replaced forward. Instead of a single developer who owns the codebase making all the decisions, a group of developers works together to make a product. In this situation, developer experience is of utmost importance

responsibilities of developers has increased, and the focus has shifted rightly so to improving the developer experience. In the last few years, the number of tools and systems needed to manage version control the developer as they now must oversee more and more components of the application. Ideally, the developer focuses mainly on delivering business value via code. Thus, to improve developer experience infrastructure and application configuration changes. In an ideal world, this approach allows the developer to focus on working and pushing code to Git, and then, further deployment and tweaks would be

With GitOps, your releases can measure in the hundreds per day. It quickens developer loops so much that often, features land in production that same day. All the golden metrics you continues to share his exper- tise across the GitOps community. —Natale Vinto Senior Principal Developer Advocate, Red Hat Author, Modernizing Enterprise Java and GitOps Cookbook (O’Reilly Media) July

process requires tools that developers know and understand. GitOps is our name for how we use developer tooling to drive operations. GitOps is a way to do Continuous Delivery. More specifically, it day, and increases overall development output 2-3 times. 1. Increased Productivity 2. Enhanced Developer Experience Key Benefits of GitOps Push code and not containers. By applying GitOps best practices What Happens When you Adopt GitOps? Introducing GitOps into your organization means: Any developer that uses Git can start deploying new features to Kubernetes The same workflows are maintained

times more changes per day, increasing overall development output by 2-3 times. 2. Familiar developer experience Because GitOps is based on tools already familiar to developers (like Git), they can does it. Deployment frequency is higher with GitOps A central benefit of GitOps is improving developer productivity. By giving application developers access to a GitOps-based platform, they can use of GitOps. WKP is a production ready platform with GitOps as the underlying architecture and developer experience. It simplifies cluster configuration and management across your organization by bringing
