gitops-workflow

A GitOps workflow manages Kubernetes deployments by storing desired state declaratively in Git and using controllers like ArgoCD or Flux to automatically reconcile cluster changes. This eliminates manual kubectl operations and ensures continuous synchronization.

Yes, ArgoCD and Flux support multi-environment promotion by structuring Git repositories for staging and production. The controllers continuously apply approved Git changes across clusters, handling automated sync, health checks, and drift recovery.

Progressive delivery in GitOps uses declarative configurations for canary and blue-green release patterns. Controllers reconcile the desired rollout state from Git, allowing safe application rollouts with automated health checks and rollback controls.

Sync policies for ArgoCD and Flux are configured declaratively to manage automatic reconciliation, pruning, and retries. Defining maintenance windows and specific sync options in Git ensures controllers apply changes consistently and handle drift effectively.

GitOps handles Kubernetes RBAC and secret management by applying declarative configurations through controllers. This ensures access controls and sensitive data are managed securely within the automated reconciliation process across environments.

Declarative deployment prevents configuration drift by making Git the single source of truth for cluster state. Controllers automatically reconcile differences, providing safer rollouts, easier auditing, and reliable recovery compared to manual cluster changes.
