A GitOps workflow diagram shows how a Git repository becomes the single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and deployments. It traces a developer pull request, the merge into the main branch, a GitOps operator like Argo CD or Flux detecting the change, and the reconciliation loop that syncs live cluster state to match the repo. Drift detection and rollback paths are included.
Platform and DevOps teams use it to explain pull-based delivery, audit deployment history, and justify reconciliation over manual kubectl. It is valuable in cloud-native migration plans, internal platform docs, and reliability reviews where the deployment model itself needs to be communicated.
Great for
- Cloud-native migration plans
- Platform engineering docs
- Reliability reviews
- DevOps training
- Deployment audit trails
Frequently asked questions
What is GitOps?+
GitOps is a deployment practice where the desired state of infrastructure is stored in Git, and an automated operator continuously syncs the live environment to match it.
How does a GitOps workflow work?+
Developers commit declarative manifests to Git, an operator like Argo CD or Flux detects the change, and a reconciliation loop applies it to the cluster, correcting any drift.
What is the difference between GitOps and CI/CD?+
CI/CD pushes changes out from a pipeline, while GitOps uses a pull model where an in-cluster operator pulls the desired state from Git and reconciles it.
What tools are used for GitOps?+
The most common GitOps tools are Argo CD and Flux, usually paired with Kubernetes and a Git provider like GitHub or GitLab.
