This book follows a DevOps team's transformation while adopting GitOps. It discusses the issues they ran into and how they overcame them. The majority of the book is high-level and great for an engineering leader. The story is very relatable as the company moves from a couple of releases a year, taking a weekend, to a process supporting frequent releases. This process can act as a cookie-cutter for planning your own transformation while trying to avoid common pitfalls. I appreciated the focus on also supporting a monolith with GitOps. The book ends by getting into the more technical details of ArgoCD, perfect for anyone trying to learn ArgoCD.This book came at the perfect time while I was trying to learn more about GitOps. I've used Flux a bit, and this book has me excited to try ArgoCD!This book is an easy recommendation for any leader looking to adopt GitOps throughout their team or organization.

Been hearing a lot of buzz around GitOps as of late. There is a very narrow definition when the term was coined a few years ago. Though with any paradigm, GitOps is evolving as a set of practices to encompass more workloads.Was looking for some thought leadership and some concrete examples. Glad I came across this book learning about both sides of rationale on why to implement and concrete examples on how to implement.Was my first time touching ArgoCD and a few of the Visual Studio plug-ins which helped me get started in no time and I feel a lot more confident in both.

If you are reading this review, you are likely already in the cloud, working on DevOps practices and have a desire to move as much of these processes to version control as possible.Who should read this:DevOps teams, cloud architects, technical leadersWhy:Scaling out in the cloud moves fast and things can get complex just as fast. GitOps attempts to improve this.2 parts:Story/ScenarioHands on with specific toolsThe story parts of the book walks through a company journey in needing to move quickly and desire to improve their processes for getting code into production quickly and safely. You can tell the author has been through these situations before based on some of the real-world challenges that can come up. For example, a ubiquitous butler tool used for anything and everything by some companies and that challenges this can create, the dichotomy of designing solutions for empowering developer teams to do more on their own with greater control vs. abstracting decisions away and providing an opinionated solution, and several explorations down a path only to quickly re-evaluate and change course. All of this is realistic in my experience and solidifies the point that a GitOps approach can help empower these different scenarios. I feel this is the real point of the book and where the value lies.The second part goes deep into some specific tooling. Overall, this is a good idea for the reader to understand a few options of what is possible, but there are many different ways to solve problems and the reader will want to understand these are just a few options. The content here, like any other technical content, will likely become out-of-date rather quickly, but the concepts will likely continue to be relevant for many years.The focus in this book is on deploying containers with Kubernetes. The following sections cover recommendations from local developer environment using VS code and extensions as well as some sepecific solutions for Continuous Deployment using ArgoCD and Harness. There is plenty of content to get someone going, but further exploration will obviously be needed to get these solutions into production. I believe the author's intent is to provide that nudge in the right direction, and I think the contents of this book succeed in that nudge.Summary:If you want to get a better understanding of GitOps and a good jump start to help you on your journey, Repeatability, Reliability, Scalability Through GitOps is a great book to help you do just that.
