GitOps Controller
Definitions
GitOps Controller is a GitOps term for software that observes source and live state, then reconciles resources safely. 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: Kubernetes controller pattern; Argo CD documentation; Flux documentation.
“The team used GitOps Controller before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”
