In this episode, we review the youtube video shared by CNCF where Ryan Etten, Senior Architect and Team Lead at Red Hat, as he shares his powerful transition from a GitOps sceptic to a strategic advisor helping Fortune-scale enterprises succeed with GitOps adoption.

Ryan dives into:

• ⚙️ The real-world problems GitOps solves — like config drift, release delays, and audit nightmares

• 🔄 Why the pull-based model (Argo CD, Flux) is a game-changer for stability and compliance

• 🚀 The big enterprise wins — from git revert rollbacks to 10x deployment frequency without added downtime

• 🛑 How to overcome common fears: YAML fatigue, loss of control, compliance concerns, and learning curves

• 🧭 A step-by-step GitOps adoption playbook: start small, enforce guardrails, integrate with existing pipelines, and measure success

🧪 Featured Stories:

• A financial giant who went from denial to daily deployments

• A retail company that scaled GitOps after a successful pilot

• A healthcare org with a Git mantra: “If it’s not in Git, it doesn’t exist.”

🎯 Whether you’re exploring GitOps or struggling to scale it across teams, this episode gives you a practical blueprint grounded in field experience — and a strong case for why GitOps is evolution, not revolution.
