GitOps boosts collaboration, reliability and autonomy for MediaMarktSaturn
After implementing GitOps, MediaMarktSaturn IT and software teams experienced not only a boost in collaboration and confidence but also in reliability and efficiency. With time-savings of 60 to 70% for deployments at times as well as a massive increase in reliability due to simplification and automation, the team can not only operate leaner and scale faster but also experiment and innovate.
The GitOps Maturity Model - 4 evolutionary steps to continuous delivery
While every organization is different, a number of common patterns have emerged. The GitOps Maturity Model shows a simple four step process that organizations commonly transition through as they move from using GitOps to manage single clusters and applications to managing large scale deployments of hundreds or even thousands of clusters.
Weave GitOps Core: Continuous declarative delivery
Weave GitOps Core is a free, open source, opinionated GitOps product with a great developer experience. It is powered by Flux. Flux is a battle-tested and CNCF owned project, one of the first project recommended for adoption. Weave GitOps Core simplifies Flux by provisioning a custom cluster with two commands.

KubeCon EU 2021 Recap - A Celebration of Kubernetes
KubeCon EU 2021 was a blast! It was also A LOT. Good news: there was a wide variance of topics discussed and fascinating sessions. Bad news: there are only 24 hours in a day to watch them. More good news; we take the time to spotlight sessions our team were a part of, as well as highlight some more interesting sessions.
How the Department of Defense (DoD) uses GitOps to bake in security
In a recent episode of 'The Art of Modern Ops' (this time in a video format!) WeaveWorks CTO, Cornelia Davis, hosted a very interesting discussion featuring the Department of Defense and how it approaches modern cloud-native operations with GitOps. Nicolas Chaillan, Chief Software Officer of the U.S. Air Force discusses how GitOps enables key operational tasks like change management, disaster recovery, networking changes, and security for tens of thousands of developers.
Secure open source foundations: Flux case
Open source projects usually have a large network of dependencies connected to a code base that will eventually build and compile into a package that may, in turn become the dependency of another project. That is why concerns about open source as a potential vector for critical vulnerabilities have always existed despite Linus’ law. Flux was able to reach a CVE count of zero due to its maintainers limiting the amount of dependencies used....
GitOpsCon EU 2021 - First time for everything
The momentum of the GitOps community keeps growing and the success of GitOpsCon EU proves that there’s much more to come as well. Organized by the CNCF GitOps Working Group and sponsored by us and our friends at Red Hat, the event showcased an amazing panel of GitOps evangelists and practitioners who covered a range of topics for those still contemplating GitOps adoption to experienced GitOps practitioners who manage enterprise scale implementations. Here is the recap...
Liquid Metal: multi-cluster Kubernetes on bare metal with microVMs
Das Schiff platform from Deutsche Telekom is an example of the benefits of a GitOps-driven, fleet-managed platform for telecom operators. A key enabler for rolling out Das Schiff to the edge is the ability to run Kubernetes on microVMs. This blog describes the core technology, jointly developed by Deutsche Telekom, Weaveworks and AWS, which significantly improves the efficiency of deployment of Kubernetes across bare-metal pools.
Managing Kubernetes with GitOps in a multi-cluster, multi-cloud world
If you’re deploying anything at scale, you’re going to need some level of automation in order to achieve consistency. By using a GitOps workflow to manage your Kubernetes clusters, you can solve some of the most common challenges associated with multi-cluster environments.

Flux v2 has its first anniversary and reaches the 0.13 milestone, there are new guides and use-cases docs, info about upcoming events (yes we'll be at KubeCon!) and general Flux community news!
The journey from Ops to GitOps
To understand what makes GitOps so revolutionary, you need to understand what came before it. You need to know how IT operations (the ‘Ops’ in GitOps) used to work – and how, in the age of the cloud, IT operations evolved. So in this post, we’re going to take a step back...
