GitOps Fundamentals

GitOps uses Git as the single source of truth for infrastructure and app deployment state.

Core Concepts

• Declarative manifests stored in Git.
• Pull-based reconciliation from cluster agents.
• Continuous drift detection and self-healing.
• Auditable change history through commits/PRs.
