💻 GitOps is a development methodology that leverages Git as the single source of truth for managing infrastructure and application deployments. The GitOps development cycle can be summarized in the following steps:

⚜ Define desired state: Developers define the desired state of the infrastructure and application deployments in a Git repository, using declarative configuration files. ✨

⚜ Commit and push: Developers commit and push the changes to the Git repository, triggering a change in the desired state. 💡💪

⚜ Continuous Deployment: A GitOps tool continuously monitors the Git repository for changes and automatically applies those changes to the target environment, ensuring it matches the desired state. 🔄🚀

⚜ Synchronization: The GitOps tool reconciles any differences between the desired state and the actual state of the target environment, making the necessary adjustments to bring the environment in line with the desired state. 🔄🔁

⚜ Rollbacks and roll-forwards: If issues or errors occur, GitOps allows for easy rollbacks to a previous known-good state by reverting the Git repository to a specific commit. Similarly, roll-forwards can be performed to apply new changes when they are ready. ⏪⏩

⚜ Observability and feedback loop: GitOps provides observability into the state of the system, allowing developers to monitor, audit, and troubleshoot deployments. Feedback loops are established to improve the development process based on real-time data and insights. 👁️🔍🔄

⚜ GitOps enables developers to manage infrastructure and application deployments through Git, promoting version control, automation, and declarative configurations to achieve a reliable and consistent development cycle. 🚀🔧🔄
