What is GitOps and how do I implement CI/CD for my hosting deployment?
GitOps uses Git as the single source of truth for infrastructure and application configuration — every change goes through a Git pull request, providing audit trail, review, and rollback capability. CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) automatically tests and deploys code changes. Basic CI/CD for Connect Quest VPS using GitHub Actions: create .github/workflows/deploy.yml — on push to main branch: SSH to your VPS, run git pull, restart services. Example step: - name: Deploy, uses: appleboy/ssh-action@v1, with: host: ${{ secrets.VPS_IP }}, username: deploy, key: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}, script: cd /var/www/html && git pull && composer install --no-dev && php artisan migrate --force && sudo systemctl reload php8.1-fpm. Store VPS IP and SSH private key as GitHub Secrets. For zero-downtime: use blue-green deployment or rolling restarts via PM2 (pm2 reload ecosystem.config.js). GitHub Actions free tier includes 2,000 minutes/month. Set up automated deployment to Connect Quest at connectquest.co.in.
