Infrastructure management increasingly depends on GitOps methodologies to maintain consistency, dependability and full audit trails across modern systems. Treating infrastructure as code through GitOps reduces configuration drift, streamlines recovery procedures and improves visibility into changes. For teams running Kubernetes and other distributed architectures, GitOps establishes operational rigor that accelerates incident response, strengthens security posture and fosters better alignment between development and operations functions.

Despite its advantages, organizations face real obstacles when adopting GitOps. To understand these barriers and identify working solutions, Octopus Deploy commissioned research directly from engineering teams actively implementing the approach.

Octopus Deploy is hosting a complimentary online session on July 17 at 10:30 a.m. PST / 1:30 p.m. EST titled "The State of GitOps 2025: Key findings and what they mean to you." The event will present findings from the inaugural State of GitOps Report, which surveyed more than 600 DevOps and platform engineers to examine how teams are deploying GitOps in production, what factors enable success and where gaps remain.

Field CTO Bob Walker and VP of Open Source Dan Garfield from Octopus Deploy will present alongside TNS host Chris Pirillo. Attendees unable to participate live can register to receive a recording afterward, plus a discount code for a leading GitOps certification program.
