GitOps Controller
Source: content/manual/06-glossary/k8s/gitops-controller.md
Definition
A controller (e.g., Argo CD, Flux) that continuously compares cluster state to manifests in Git and reconciles differences.
Why it matters
Automates deployment, improves auditability, and simplifies rollback.
Common pitfalls
- Manual changes that drift from Git and get overwritten.
- Insufficient RBAC and secret management for controllers.
