From ClickOps to GitOps: Rebuilding Your Citrix & NetScaler Worlds Every 30 Days
Stop clicking, start shipping — rebuild Citrix & NetScaler every 30 days.
Production intent trapped in consoles, screenshots, and institutional knowledge creates unnecessary risk in EUC environments. When rebuilding infrastructure depends on tribal knowledge, every change introduces uncertainty, and recovery becomes more difficult than it should be. Join Ferroque Systems' Richard Faulkner for a practical Masterclass on using Infrastructure as Code and a GitOps operating model to replace ClickOps with a repeatable, documented approach. You'll see how to store infrastructure intent in Git, manage changes through pull requests and CI/CD pipelines, and adopt regular rebuild cycles that reduce configuration drift, improve consistency, and make recovery a predictable, repeatable process.

Stop Clicking and Start Shipping
Most EUC environments are managed the same way they’ve always been: consoles, one-off fixes, and the institutional knowledge of whoever built them. ClickOps feels fast. It delivers immediate feedback and handles changes in the moment.
But ClickOps hides intent. It obscures dependencies. It accumulates drift that only becomes visible at the worst possible time — during a rebuild, a recovery event, or a compliance audit. This results in slow rebuilds, fragile changes, patch avoidance, and environments that can only be safely managed by a few people who remember how they were put together.
This Masterclass focuses on how organizations can replace ClickOps with a GitOps operating model — one where infrastructure intent lives in Git, changes are proposed as code, reviewed through pull requests, and executed by pipelines that produce the same result every time.
Join Ferroque Systems’ Richard Faulkner as he walks through:
- Why ClickOps breaks
- The GitOps operating model
- A working repository walkthrough of Terraform and Ansible for Citrix DaaS, NetScaler, pipelines, secrets, and state
- The monthly rebuild pattern
- A realistic adoption roadmap
Rather than treating infrastructure automation as a destination, attendees will learn how to build an operating model where every durable change has a diff, an approver, and a plan — and where a clean rebuild uses files, not memory.
The session covers an architecture discussion, a repository walkthrough, pipeline design, and a practical 30-60-90-day adoption roadmap for teams at any stage of their journey, from ClickOps to GitOps.
