Last month, I got to speak a little about GitOps (and why MacAdmins should be using GitOps!) at the University of Utah MacAdmins Meeting.

The slides, session recording, and links can be found here. Thanks to Richard Glaser for having me!

One of the questions that I keep hearing is "[H]ow do I start if I already have a fully deployed environment?" I attempted to answer that question in https://macadminmusings.com/blog/2026/03/03/from-clickops-to-code-terraforming-a-live-system/. I try to take a high level view and define the steps to take to avoid breaking everything. I hope it helps to guide people onto a path toward success.
