OpenShift GitOps and OpenShift Pipelines help organisations reduce friction between development and operations teams by streamlining application development and deployment across the hybrid cloud, according to Red Hat.

GitOps uses the Git repository as the single source of truth for development and operations teams.

OpenShift GitOps, based on the open source Argo CD project, helps implement GitOps workflows for cluster configuration and application delivery.

It also increases visibility into the state of clusters and applications and optionally corrects deviations from the desired state, helping to achieve consistency across Kuberenetes clusters across a hybrid cloud.

OpenShift Pipelines, based on the Tekton open source project, is intended to run each step of an CI/CD pipeline in its own container. This is said to help reduce the cost and overhead for running the pipeline.

It is said to provide a streamlined experience, enabling full control over a team's delivery pipeline, plugins and access control with no central CI/CD server to manage.

"With OpenShift GitOps and OpenShift Pipelines, we are working to remove the false wall between developers and IT operations, enabling the teams to work together earlier in the application development process," said Red Hat senior vice president of cloud platforms Ashesh Badani.

"This not only helps to find and prevent defects more quickly in the software delivery process, but also streamlines the process as a whole by providing increased visibility and security across the lifecycle."

OpenShift GitOps and OpenShift Pipelines are available immediately through the OperatorHub for subscribers to all Managed OpenShift services and the self-managed OpenShift Container Platform and OpenShift Platform Plus running Red Hat OpenShift 4.7 and higher.
