What is GitOps?

GitOps is a modern operational framework that uses Git repositories as the single source of truth for both infrastructure and application deployments. All changes to the system are made declaratively and version-controlled through Git, typically via pull requests, enabling teams to track, audit, and roll back modifications easily. Automation tools like Argo CD or Flux continuously monitor these repositories and reconcile the desired state with the actual state of the system, ensuring consistency, reliability, and faster recovery from failures—all while promoting a developer-friendly workflow and aligning with DevOps and Continuous Delivery principles.
