Repository Provisioning

Manual creation of Git repositories by admins leads to delays, waiting times for developers, and potential inconsistencies in descriptions, metadata, and access controls.

Solution: Ops Catalog automates Git repository creation and management, streamlining development workflows

Use Case: Discover and Create Repositories adopting Self-Service approach.

Actors:

• Developers: Focus on writing code without waiting for repository creation.
• Ops Catalog: Automated platform for Git repository management.
• Code Factory Team: Manages Ops Catalog instance for specific teams/projects.

Process:

• Developer: Adds a catalog entry in Ops Catalog specifying repository details.
• Ops Catalog:
• Fulfillment: Creates the Git repository based on the provided information, including descriptions, metadata, and access control policies.
• Discovery: Discovers existing repositories within the GitOps environment and adds them to the catalog.
• GitOps Management Team:
• Manages the Ops Catalog instance for their specific team/project (if applicable).
• Can integrate with the organization-level Ops Catalog for broader discovery and resource sharing.

Owner: Dev Experience

Value:

Secure repositories management without bottlenecks.

• Increased Productivity: Faster repository setup frees up developer time for coding and innovation.
• Reduced Error Rate: Standardized templates and automated workflows minimize configuration errors.
• Improved Consistency: Ensures all repositories are created with the correct descriptions, metadata, and access controls.
• Reduced Risk: Less reliance on manual admin intervention minimizes human error and security vulnerabilities.
