summary
Argues GitOps is more than CI/CD: it centers on pull-based reconciliation into clusters, not pushing from CI, and separates CI from CD for security and scale. Shows concrete patterns — drift detection and remediation, image update automation — that use reconcilers to commit or open PRs, update manifests, and let Kubernetes runtime controllers finish deployment. Demos Flux and Flagger, cites cluster-api integration, and explains four principles: declarative config, git as immutable store/UI, delivery controllers, and runtime controllers.
