GitOps and Policy Management with Alexis Richardson and Mohamed Ahmed

Mar 30, 2022 by SED

GitOps is a deployment and infrastructure management strategy based around continuous delivery and Kubernetes, with Git at the center of deployment workflows. Policy management can be used to define permissions and rules around who can deploy and what constitutes safe deployment. There is a synergy between GitOps tooling and policy management tooling.

Alexis Richardson is the co-founder and CEO of Weaveworks. Mohamed Ahmed founded Magalix, a security and compliance company that was acquired by Weaveworks. They join the show to talk about GitOps and Policy Management.
