GitOps Fundamentals Course

Automating Infrastructure & Application Delivery with ArgoCD

Overview

Adopt GitOps practices to automate infrastructure and application deployments using Git as a single source of truth. Implement declarative configurations and continuous delivery workflows to improve reliability, traceability, and deployment speed in Kubernetes environments. This course provides a practical introduction to GitOps principles and demonstrates how to implement them using Argo CD.

What will you learn:

Use Git as the single source of truth for cluster and application configurations Implement declarative infrastructure and application management Simplify rollbacks, auditing, and change tracking through version-controlled states Automate synchronization between Git repositories and Kubernetes clusters Deploy and manage applications using Argo CD

Course Introduction

GitOps is an operational model that uses Git repositories to manage infrastructure and application configurations declaratively. Changes are introduced through pull requests, reviewed, and automatically synchronized with Kubernetes clusters.

In this course, participants will apply GitOps principles in practical scenarios. The program covers declarative configuration management, continuous delivery workflows, and automated reconciliation using Argo CD.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to manage Kubernetes environments using version-controlled configurations and streamline application deployments for improved stability and delivery velocity.

Who Should Attend?

DevOps engineers, SREs, and platform engineers implementing GitOps practices
Engineers responsible for CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation
Kubernetes users seeking to improve configuration management and deployment processes

Prerequisite Knowledge

Working knowledge of Git (branches, commits, pull requests)
Basic experience with Kubernetes resources (kubectl, deployments, services)
Foundational understanding of CI/CD concepts
Practical familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes (recommended through our DevOps bundle)

DevOps Learning Path

This course is part of our comprehensive Educational Package for DevOps Engineers. The program is designed to build a strong foundation across key DevOps domains, including Docker containerization, Kubernetes resource management, and GitOps practices. Together, these components ensure that participants can fully leverage and apply the GitOps implementation techniques.
