GitOps Working Group Charter

Introduction

This document outlines the charter for the GitOps Working Group, a time-limited Working Group under the CNCF App Delivery SIG.

Mission Statement

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

Goals

  • Open governance
  • Project/vendor neutral
  • Promote awareness and understanding of GitOps terminology and approaches by creating education materials, organizing events and supporting practitioners throughout the community
  • Create documents and guidelines for following and implementing GitOps principles
  • Impartial analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of GitOps and its various approaches
  • Maintain a vendor-neutral landscape of GitOps projects/products and solutions

Non-Goals

  • Recommend/endorse specific projects, vendors or approaches to GitOps
  • Exclude/deprecate specific projects, vendors or approaches to GitOps
  • Promote GitOps over other paradigms or methodologies (i.e. no advocacy or branding)

Work Products (WIP)

  • GitOps definition and terminology document: working draft
  • GitOps methodologies and approaches document
  • GitOps landscape document
  • GitOps community events (e.g., GitOpsCon)
  • Working examples for getting started
  • OpenGitOps project website

Cloud Native Alignment

The GitOps WG works to enable widespread and successful adoption of the GitOps pattern in cloud-native environments by:

  • Providing valuable deliveries to the GitOps community, and objective information to CNCF TOC, End Users and Projects of the CNCF regarding areas considered in scope (see goals and non-goals)
  • Collaborating effectively with other related groups
  • Helping to maintain the continued health of GitOps related projects in CNCF
  • Identifying and filling gaps in the landscape of GitOps Projects

App Delivery TAG Alignment

  • CNCF App Delivery TAG: As an “operating model” for cloud native applications, GitOps fully aligns with "Application delivery workflow and strategy" and "Configuration source driven workflow" scopes defined in CNCF App Delivery TAG charter
  • Additionally aligns with the other working groups within this TAG:

Other Related Groups

  • CNCF Security TAG: Security in GitOps workflow is one of the most important areas in consideration
  • CNCF Runtime TAG: The execution engine of GitOps workflow is mostly a controller inside Kubernetes which drops in scope of Runtime TAG
  • Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) cdCon GitOps Summit
