Base Manifest
Definitions
Base Manifest is a GitOps term for the shared Kubernetes configuration used before environment-specific changes. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: Argo CD documentation; Flux documentation.
“The team used Base Manifest before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”
