GitOps Automation

Automate your software delivery workflow with Portainer.

Git + Portainer = Automatic deployments

With support for any Git-based system, Portainer gives you the ability to automate the deployment of your applications to Docker and Kubernetes environments based on instructions in Git repos. Unlike other CD systems, Portainer offers both Push (your CI system tells Portainer there are changes) and Pull (Portainer checks for changes at a defined interval) based updating.

Portainer keeps an audit log of what goes on, including deployments through GitOps, so you can see what happened when.

How does Portainer fit into the DevOps flow?

Portainer is a GitOps tool. This means that we consider Git repositories as the “source of truth” for application deployment configurations. Automation is trigged by changes that occur in the Git repository, meaning developers are “hands off” in the deployment of their apps, only needing to use their existing Git tooling as per normal.

From a CI perspective, all that’s needed is to configure your pipeline to build images, push manifests, then wait for Portainer to detect the changes and deploy the application based on those changes. This could be as simple as a new image version tag, or as complex as adding or reconfiguring services as required.
