In this episode of the G Research Open Source Software Outreach Podcast, host Jay Faulkner sits down with Priyanka "Pinky" Ravi, Platform Tech Advocate at G Research, to explore her unique path from full-stack developer to open source advocate. Pinky shares her fascinating journey implementing inner source practices at State Farm, leading Kubernetes GitOps adoption, and eventually joining the team behind Flux at WeaveWorks. The conversation dives deep into what GitOps really means, the four core principles that define true GitOps, and how pull-based deployment models solve configuration drift. Along the way, they discuss the evolution of DevOps practices, the power of infrastructure as code, and why the CNCF ecosystem has become such a valuable community for both users and maintainers.
