GitOps & Infrastructure as Code – Automating Infrastructure with DevOps Intelligence
GitOps & Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a comprehensive course designed to equip learners with the modern DevOps principles of automation, version control, and declarative infrastructure management.
In the era of cloud-native architectures, IaC and GitOps have become the foundation for reliable, scalable, and repeatable system deployments. This course teaches how to define, provision, and manage infrastructure programmatically using tools such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Ansible, Pulumi, and Helm, while leveraging Git-based workflows for continuous delivery (CD).
You will explore how GitOps integrates with Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud platforms, ensuring fast, auditable, and secure infrastructure management. Through hands-on projects, learners will build a complete DevOps workflow—from code commit to automated infrastructure deployment.
Why Learn GitOps & Infrastructure as Code?
Traditional infrastructure management is manual, error-prone, and inconsistent. With IaC and GitOps, infrastructure becomes automated, versioned, and reproducible—making system management faster, safer, and more transparent.
Learning GitOps and IaC enables you to:
- Eliminate configuration drift through version-controlled environments.
- Simplify multi-cloud management with automation tools.
- Achieve continuous deployment with auditable Git workflows.
- Scale infrastructure predictably and securely.
As organizations shift to cloud-native and containerized applications, professionals with IaC and GitOps expertise are in high demand across industries.
What You Will Gain
By completing this course, you will:
- Understand the principles of Infrastructure as Code and GitOps.
- Learn to define infrastructure using declarative and procedural languages.
- Automate cloud provisioning across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
- Manage infrastructure states, configurations, and versions using Git.
- Implement CI/CD pipelines for continuous deployment using GitOps tools.
- Ensure security, scalability, and compliance in automated operations.
Hands-on projects include:
- Building a Terraform-based infrastructure provisioning system.
- Implementing a GitOps deployment workflow for Kubernetes.
- Designing an automated CI/CD pipeline with Jenkins and Argo CD.
Who This Course Is For
This course is ideal for:
- DevOps Engineers & Cloud Architects managing modern deployments.
- System Administrators transitioning to automation-driven infrastructure.
- SREs & Platform Engineers seeking to implement GitOps best practices.
- Developers managing scalable environments through code.
- Students & Professionals aiming to master infrastructure automation and version control.
Whether you're modernizing traditional infrastructure or managing microservices in the cloud, this course provides the tools and frameworks to achieve operational excellence.
By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
- Understand the principles and benefits of Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
- Explain the GitOps model and its role in continuous delivery.
- Implement infrastructure automation using Terraform and Ansible.
- Manage configurations declaratively across multi-cloud environments.
- Set up CI/CD pipelines with Git-based triggers and approvals.
- Deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters using GitOps workflows.
- Maintain infrastructure state, drift detection, and rollback mechanisms.
- Ensure security, compliance, and auditability in infrastructure pipelines.
- Integrate monitoring and observability into GitOps deployments.
- Design a full end-to-end automated infrastructure management system.

- What is Infrastructure as Code (IaC)?
IaC is a method of managing and provisioning infrastructure through code instead of manual processes. - How does GitOps differ from traditional DevOps?
GitOps uses Git repositories as the single source of truth for infrastructure and deployment automation. - What are the benefits of using IaC?
Reproducibility, version control, scalability, automation, and reduced human error. - What are the key GitOps tools?
Argo CD, Flux CD, Jenkins X, and Weave GitOps. - Explain the difference between declarative and imperative IaC.
Declarative defines what the system should look like; imperative defines how to achieve it. - What is drift detection in GitOps?
Identifying and reconciling configuration differences between the desired and actual infrastructure states. - What is the role of Terraform in IaC?
Terraform enables cross-platform infrastructure provisioning using declarative configuration files. - What is Policy as Code?
Embedding governance and compliance rules directly into IaC workflows using tools like OPA or Sentinel. - How does GitOps improve deployment security?
By using Git commits, pull requests, and approvals as auditable sources of truth for every infrastructure change. - How can IaC and GitOps contribute to CI/CD automation?
By integrating with pipelines that automatically deploy and validate infrastructure updates through Git triggers.
