A GitOps silo happens when the adoption of GitOps practices leads to isolation within the development and operations processes. This creates a disconnect between teams that should be working together to maximize the benefits of GitOps. It is similar to siloing in DevOps, which is largely viewed as a negative and something organizations should eradicate.
However, there are some misconceptions about this subject, which should not come as a surprise, given how there are different views when it comes to silos. For example, while many would say that DevOps addresses siloing, some argue that there are areas where DevOps can be part of the reason why silos emerge. There are also those who opine that silos are not necessarily an urgent problem and that organizations may not have to spend so much time trying to eliminate them.
