How do you understand the GitOps approach?

GitOps is an approach to managing infrastructure and applications where all configuration is stored in a Git repository, and changes are automatically applied to the target environment using CI/CD tools. The main idea is to use Git as the single source of truth for the system's state.

This allows:

• Tracking all changes through commits and pull requests.
• Automating deployment and updates of applications.
• Ensuring rollback to previous versions if necessary.

For example, in a Kubernetes cluster, application and configuration manifests are stored in Git, and an operator (such as ArgoCD or Flux) monitors the repository and synchronizes the cluster state with the description in Git.

Thus, GitOps increases transparency, reliability, and speed of delivering changes in infrastructure and applications.
