GitOps
GitOps is a type of closed-loop control system for cloud-native applications. The term is often used more expansively, usually as a shorthand for automated operations or CI/CD, but this is incorrect. According to the canonical OpenGitOps standard, the state of any system managed by GitOps must be: (1) expressed declaratively, (2) versioned and immutable, (3) pulled automatically, and (4) continuously reconciled. These ideas are not new, but new tools and practices now bring GitOps within reach.
