Abstract
With the rise of cloud computing platforms, the speed of developing software has drastically increased. This increased speed requires new models of operating hardware, as the separation of development and operations departments often leads to bottlenecks in the deployment process. DevOps techniques aim at improving the collaboration between development and operation teams, promising to reduce the time until new products reach the customer and improving software quality. GitOps is a new concept claiming to be the evolution of DevOps. This paper analyzes if GitOps is really an evolution of DevOps, as in making DevOps obsolete. As neither DevOps nor GitOps have a standard definition, this paper synthesizes a definition of both concepts and compares them by their key elements. We find that GitOps is not the evolution of DevOps although they share common concepts. However, both concepts are defined by their use in industry, so additional research is required.
