Keynote
summary
Claim: operations, not dev, is the velocity bottleneck and GitOps is an opinionated way to fix it. Key practices are everything in source control, declarative config, and automation where robots continuously converge the current state to the desired state. Kubernetes supplies controllers, deployments and self-healing but still requires extra tooling for blast radius management and progressive rollouts. EKS and companion tools implement this stack; teams report CI is largely solved but fully automated CD and staged rollouts remain the hard, high-value work.
