A Day in the Life of the GitOps Platform Team
summary
A five‑person GitOps platform team that started in 2019 scales GitOps across AWS, on‑prem Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry using the Terraform GitLab provider, Vault for secrets, an onboarding UI, a homegrown GitOps CLI and API, and a cookbook; adoption metrics include deployment events, change lead time and change size; outages from secret exposure and a flaky kubelet/CNI drop flux pods and are recovered with a secret‑patching bash script; monitoring uses Prometheus/Grafana and a nightly enforcer job to validate compliance.
