summary
Claims that GitOps (FluxCD/ArgoCD) removes CI servers’ need for cluster access, eliminates duplicate install scripts, and enforces repo-as-truth. Uses FluxCD and ArgoCD, Helm and Kustomize, Terraform to provision a cluster and install Flux, External Secrets / Vault or SOPS for secret handling, Renovate for drift. Demo runs Terraform to create a Docker Desktop cluster, Flux connects to the repo and deploys an Ingress/nginx successfully. Notes secrets land in VCS, GitOps is ~3 years old, and CI still often remains in the pipeline. Flux recently graduated, Flux pulls manifests from the repo.
