Most existing GitOps tooling and documentations is focused around Kubernetes applications. This makes a lot of people think that GitOps is only applicable to Kubernetes clusters and can only work on the application level. GitOps can be applied in several other scenarios (i.e databases) including common cloud infrastructure. In fact all the benefits of GitOps such as avoiding configuration drift is far more important in the case of infrastructure. In this talk we will see a unified GitOps way to handle both infrastructure and applications (even outside Kubernetes) and explain why it makes sense to follow the same process for everything.
