Weaveworks announced the general
availability of Weave GitOps Enterprise, the first GitOps platform that
automates continuous application delivery and Kubernetes operations at
any scale. Weave GitOps Enterprise addresses surging demand for
self-governed, bullet-proof application delivery and fleet management
across hybrid cloud, multi cloud and edge infrastructures.
"The
growing pressure for enterprises to compete at rapid speed and scale is
driving the shift to cloud native technologies requiring modern
operations. GitOps is the gold standard for automation to accelerate
trusted application delivery and management." said Alexis Richardson,
CEO of Weaveworks. "After helping transform DevOps teams in mature
organizations such as Fidelity and Deutsche Telekom, we are proud to
introduce the very first enterprise GitOps platform to the market."
GitOps
brings DevOps to Cloud Native by uniting application development and IT
operations through the power of "Operations by Pull Request". Increased
collaboration brings considerable agility and speed, while ensuring
teams have greater reliability, visibility and security throughout the
application life-cycle.
In June, Weaveworks announced Weave GitOps in two tiers:
- Weave
GitOps Core: a free and open source tier for developers that want to
get started with GitOps quickly, enabling them to deploy and manage
applications on any Kubernetes cluster.
- Weave
GitOps Enterprise: adding the continuous operations and control of
Kubernetes at any scale that platform teams need to manage at scale.
Weave GitOps Enterprise 2021.11 comes with the following new product features:
Application delivery UI:
Weave GitOps provides an intuitive web user interface that allows
application teams to deploy and manage their applications easily. All
changes are stored within the git configuration repository making it
easy to see all changes to deployments. This enables teams to safely
deploy new versions, quickly respond to errors and detect configuration
drift. Available in both Weave GitOps Core and Enterprise.
Component Profiles:
With Weave GitOps Enterprise teams define component profiles that can
be deployed into any Kubernetes environment. Component profiles enables
teams to deploy standard services quickly, consistently and reliably.
Teams can curate the profiles that are available within their estate
ensuring there is consistency everywhere. Using GitOps it's easy to
guarantee the latest, secure versions of any component are deployed in
all production systems.
Platform as Code:
Weave GitOps Enterprise 2021.11 enables teams to install a complete
Kubernetes platform. Utilizing the Cluster API capability permits Weave
GitOps Enterprise to support Kubernetes on-premise, or in multiple
different cloud environments. All elements of the system are defined
using templates and GitOps, ensuring that the system is easily
reproducible. This capability can be tied together with the component
profiles so that a complete Kubernetes application platform can be
defined, deployed and managed.
Multi-cluster Management: Weave
GitOps Enterprise's multi-cluster control plane allows cluster
operators to attach and control any Kubernetes cluster using GitOps.
Acting as a single pane of glass the GitOps observability components can
be deployed to any Kubernetes cluster to gain instant insight. Manage
all application lifecycles in a GitOps enabled cluster to immediately
detect drift, evaluate cluster health or even inform roll back actions
as well as monitor continuous operations.
Weaveworks
Weave GitOps aligns application delivery, operations, and management to
deliver software faster without compromising security or stability of
the infrastructure.
GitOps
is the path to automate Kubernetes and build robust Kubernetes
platforms across any infrastructure. Continuous delivery, deployment and
control are the first step in a successful cloud native journey,
followed by progressive delivery and self service capabilities. Weave
GitOps is the modern operations product which enables this
transformation.
