tl;dr

BitOps is an automated orchestrator for deployment tools using GitOps.

It leverages a way to describe infrastructure for many environments and IaC tools called an Operations Repository.

---

Features

• Configurable: Configure how you want BitOps to deploy your application with yaml or environment variables.
• Event Hooks: If BitOps doesn't have built-in support for your usecase, execute arbitrary bash scripts at different points using BitOps' lifecycle.
• Pipeline Runner Agnostic: By bundling all logic in BitOps, you can have the same experience regardless of which pipeline service runs your deployment pipeline. You can even run BitOps locally!
• Customizable: Configure what tools you want installed in your BitOps image. Only take what you need, leave the bloat behind.

How it works

BitOps is a deployment tool orchestrator packaged in a Docker image. An Operations Repository is mounted to a BitOps container's /opt/bitops_deployment directory, and BitOps will parse through a given environment directory and;

• Auto-detect BitOps configuration files within tool directories
• Loop through each tool and
  • Read in yaml configuration
  • Run any pre-execute hooks
  • Execute the tool
  • Run any post-execute hooks

Quick Start

BitOps is packaged as a docker image and is available on Dockerhub.

docker pull bitovi/bitops:latest
cd $YOUR_OPERATIONS_REPO
docker run bitovi/bitops:latest -v .:/opt/bitops_deployment

Configure BitOps

BitOps is configured in 3 steps:

1. Define configuration for each tool in your environments
2. Configure access to your cloud provider
3. Configure how you want your deployment tools to execute

From there, the contents of the tool directories in your environments can exist exactly how the tool expects.
