The 5 W's of open source
While reading the documentation can be a breeze for those of us who have used Bitops before, for newer members, things can be.. a bit confusing.
We need to enhance our documentation by answering the following questions; what it does, who it's for, why it's different, and when and where it should be used.
What does BitOps do?
BitOps is a orchestration tool that simplifies multi-tool deployment stacks so SREs can focus more of their time building infrastructure and less of their time wrangling tools.
Bitops is a containerized orchestration tool that simplifies complex, multi-faceted infrastructure as Code deployments by necessitating a common folder pattern within the infrastructure repository and obfuscating tool commands.
Who is BitOps for?
BitOps is made for small to medium scoped teams who want better control over their infrastructure and tools.
Why is it different?
BitOps is different because it is light-weight, portable and customizable. It enables teams to create an infrastructure orchestrator that is specific to their needs, removing the bloat of useless tools.
When and where should it be used?
BitOps is easy to setup and use which makes it approachable by any size of team, from solo dev to 100+ member teams. It's meant to be used by SREs who have multi-tool stacks and who wish to simplify their deployments.
Possible "what does it do" snippet:
BitOps simplifies multi-environment, multi-tool deployment stacks so SREs can focus more of their time building infrastructure and less of their time wrangling tools.
Additional thoughts about what it does:
- it is good at "extending" tools with lifecycle hooks
- it allows checking in cli flags
- cross-environment defaults
Bitops extends common IAC tools to enable lifecycle hooks and checked in cli flags
