Why GitOps Is the Future of DevOps
GitOps is more than a buzzword—it’s a paradigm shift. By using Git as the single source of truth for both application code and infrastructure configuration, GitOps streamlines deployments, enhances collaboration, and ensures consistency. Companies like Weaveworks, GitLab, and CNCF members are championing GitOps, with 74% of organizations adopting it for Kubernetes-based deployments (2025 CNCF Survey).
Why should you care? GitOps skills are in high demand, with roles like GitOps Engineer and Platform Engineer offering salaries of INR 8-18 lakhs in India and $100,000-$160,000 globally. I recently chatted with a DevOpsSchool alum who landed a senior DevOps role after our GitOps course. “Rajesh’s labs made me confident in managing production clusters,” he said. That’s the kind of impact we’re talking about—real skills, real results.
Benefits of GitOps Certification
Here’s why the GitOps Certified Professional credential is a game-changer:
| Benefit | Impact |
