Image Tag Drift
Definitions
Image Tag Drift is a GitOps term for a mismatch between the image tag in source and the running image evidence. 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: Flux documentation.
“The team used Image Tag Drift before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”
