SneakOps – Getting Users To Use GitOps Without Them Even Knowing About It! - Éamon Ryan & Hedley Simons, Grafana Labs

Most people are well-aware of the benefits of GitOps for various workflows especially as it relates to Kubernetes deployments - it allows easy integration of approvals, verifiable change history and automation hooks. However, getting users to adopt a different way of working can be challenging - especially if it involves tools and methods that would be convenient for you, the administrator, but inconvenient for the end-user. So, what do you do when your end-users are not directly using Git in their day-to-day work, but you still want to add the benefits of GitOps to your deployments without slowing them down? Simple - you implement GitOps but hide the entire process from them! In this session, Éamon and Heds will take you through how they took an internal Grafana environment that had grown increasingly messy and unreliable due to usage by a rapidly expanding internal team - and transformed it into a repeatable, promotable, process-driven well-oiled machine fueled by GitOps, Kubernetes, Terraform and more - all without the end-users having to learn or interact with Git at all!
