+**GitOps** is an operational framework that takes DevOps best practices used for application development such as version control, collaboration, compliance, and CI/CD, and applies them to infrastructure automation. GitOps uses Git repositories as a single source of truth to deliver infrastructure as code.
+
+# GitOps delivers:
+* A standard workflow for application development
+* Increased security for setting application requirements upfront
+* Improved reliability with visibility and version control through Git
+* Consistency across any cluster, any cloud, and any on-premise environment
+
+# Key components of a GitOps workflow
+
+There are four key components to a GitOps workflow, a Git repository, a continuous delivery (CD) pipeline, an application deployment tool, and a monitoring system.
+* The Git repository is the source of truth for the application configuration and code.
+* The CD pipeline is responsible for building, testing, and deploying the application.
+* The deployment tool is used to manage the application resources in the target environment.
+* The monitoring system tracks the application performance and provides feedback to the development team.
