Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global, online program focused on bringing new contributors into open source software development. GSoC contributors work with an open source organization on a summer programming project under the guidance of mentors. GSoC contributors accepted into the program work on projects to improve or enhance the Keptn project and its ecosystem. During the mid-term evaluation our mentees will present their projects. In this session Meha Bhalodiya, a GSoC contributors in Keptn, will present her project: "Integrations for GitOps-based Deployment Tools: ArgoCD and Flux".

To be able to use GitOps tools in combination with Keptn. The main goal of this project is to find a proper way how the tools could interact with Keptn and to build an integration for such tools. Deployment tools can be integrated via the helm-service or via the job-executor service. Currently, there’s no way to integrate GitOps Tools in Keptn. This project aims to provide a way such that such tools can be integrated into Keptn return deployment states after the state has been synced.
