  4. IMAGE HERE Immutable Infrastructure • Reduced, authentication, authorization and auditing

    • As reliable as yesterday • Push to prod from day 1 • Simpler rollbacks • Agile innovation • Not necessarily more expensive • Brings “Infrastructure as Code”
  5. IMAGE HERE Tiered Ops Database -> Maintenance Window API ->

  10. So, GitOps... Infrastructure as Code Manage infrastructure operations as if

    it was code, using tools and process from software development. Collaborate through Git Use commands, tools and services from Git as a source of code and events. Continuous Delivery Separate deploy and release, releasing frequently and confidently, by deep automation and testing. 1 2 3
