GitOps: A Control Plane for Governance

This is excerpts from the video titled "Declarative by Default, Secure by Design: GitOps as a Control Plane for Governance - Andrew Martin" [https://youtu.be/NTX_Pkr9eEU?list=TLGGbZgDyZafBmkyNTA2MjAyNQ]. This video was uploaded on the "CNCF [Cloud Native Computing Foundation] YouTube channel"

1. The transcript details the content of the talk, which covers:

•The concept of a control plane, drawing on industrial control and Kubernetes.

•The challenges of governance without GitOps, describing it as "reasonably unpretty"

•Reframing GitOps beyond CI/CD to include policy enforcement and compliance control.

•Real-world practices in regulated environments.

•The progression towards continuous governance as a core part of delivery.

The transcript focuses entirely on the technical concepts of GitOps, its application as a universal control plane for governance, policy as code, auditability, compliance in cloud-native environments, and related topics like Kubernetes, AI Ops, and security.

It also includes a Q&A session on applying GitOps principles to non-Kubernetes workloads and databases, as well as AI Ops.
