Packaging and Deploying Releases

Implementing GitOps principles

If we’re going to follow the GitOps principles, each release should result in a change of, at a minimum, the tag of the image and the version of the chart. Also, we might want to package the chart in a way that it can be distributed to everyone who needs it. We’ll explore that through a simulation of the development of a new feature that could result in a new release.

Let’s start by creating a new branch, just as we would normally do when working on something new. But first, we need to initialize Git.
