A WG under CNCF App Delivery TAG.

The GitOps WG focus is to clearly define a vendor-neutral, principle-led meaning of GitOps, which will establish a foundation for interoperability between tools, conformance, and certification. Lasting GitOps programs, documents, and code will live within the CNCF OpenGitOps project, also guided by the WG.

Principles

The GitOps Principles aim to give participants in the cloud native ecosystem a common understanding of GitOps systems based on shared principles, rather than individual opinion or implementation preference, as the foundation for GitOps practices.
