Episode 10: GitOps for the Linux Administrator
GitOps can feel like buzzword soup, especially for seasoned Linux admins who’ve spent years mastering bash, cron, and config files. But what if it’s not as scary—or as different—as it sounds?
In this episode of The IT Guy Show, Eric is joined by Christian Hernandez, a longtime Linux administrator who “accidentally” became a Kubernetes and GitOps expert. Together, they break down what GitOps really is, how it compares to traditional sysadmin practices, and how Linux professionals can embrace this powerful approach to infrastructure automation without throwing away their shell scripts.
Whether you're Git-curious or deep in YAML fatigue, this conversation will give you practical context, real talk, and tips for making GitOps part of your day-to-day toolkit.
