What is GitOps?#
Using engines like ArgoCD, GitOps treats Git as the single source of truth. The cluster constantly polls the repo and converges any state drift automatically.
Everyday Analogy#
A cruise control autopilot adjusting the throttle continuously to maintain the vehicle speed set on the dashboard.
Practical Applications#
- Zero-credential deployment pipelines protecting production servers
- Automated audit trails for all configuration and infrastructure changes
