I’m tired of typing now, see y’all tomorrow

Today was my first day trying out GitOps using ArgoCD and this is what I have learnt so far! GitOps in my own terms is the use of git principles and CI/CD to make IaC level changes. A thread 🧵

@ick_real I do actually

who still has a friend they have known for 9+ years? I will wait.

@_trish_xD Hiiiii

two things every developer needs: • a laptop • a community if you’re in tech, say hi and connect

One of the wildly used GitOps tool is ArgoCD. It is used to deploy IaC changes to a K8s cluster. How does this work? An agent is installed inside the cluster and connected to a repo that houses all the IaC files using a yaml file.

For pull deployments, the desired state of a repo is matched with the actual state of the live repo, this could be a K8s cluster. If there’s a disparity between the two, a pipeline is triggered to ensure that they both match.

For push deployments, this is basically the traditional way of deploying applications. Code is pushed to a repo and pipeline is triggered. Applications is built, tagged and deployed. We use tools like gitlab.

How does this work? An infra change is made and a pull request is created, this triggers the pipeline and gets it to run and changes are deployed after approval. There are 2 ways the CI/CD process can be broken into: Push and pull deployments

Highlight of 2026: I resumed my dream job as a DevOps engineer in one of the best work places in Nigeria!

I beg you to take a moment now and then to look back at how far you’ve come and feel excited about where you’re headed.

I remember creating this account to document my DevOps journey, I didn't get to use it and now I am a DevOps engineer. Well, I guess this phase is still a journey, sooooo

Put this account to good use?

How time flies!
