GitOps is a GitOps term for using Git as the source of truth for declarative infrastructure and application operations. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: OpenGitOps principles; Argo CD documentation; Flux documentation.

“The team used GitOps before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”

Desired State is a GitOps term for the declared configuration the system should converge toward. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: OpenGitOps principles; Kubernetes controller pattern.

“The team used Desired State before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”

Live State is a GitOps term for the current running condition of a cluster, application, or resource. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: Argo CD documentation; Kubernetes controller pattern.

“The team used Live State before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”

Source State is a GitOps term for the versioned configuration stored in Git or another trusted source. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: OpenGitOps principles; Argo CD documentation.

“The team used Source State before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”

Reconciliation is a GitOps term for the repeated process of moving live state closer to desired state. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: OpenGitOps principles; Kubernetes controller pattern; Flux documentation.

“The team used Reconciliation before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”

Reconciliation Loop is a GitOps term for a controller loop that watches, compares, and applies changes until state is aligned. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: Kubernetes controller pattern; Argo CD documentation.

“The team used Reconciliation Loop before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”

Drift Detection is a GitOps term for finding when live state differs from declared source state. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: Argo CD documentation; Flux documentation.

“The team used Drift Detection before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”

Drift Remediation is a GitOps term for the safe correction of detected drift back toward declared state. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: Argo CD documentation; Flux documentation.

“The team used Drift Remediation before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”

Declarative Configuration is a GitOps term for configuration that describes the intended result instead of step-by-step commands. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: OpenGitOps principles; Argo CD documentation.

“The team used Declarative Configuration before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”

Single Source of Truth is a GitOps term for the trusted versioned location agents and people use to decide what should run. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows.
