Reconciliation Loop
Definitions
Reconciliation Loop is a GitOps term for a controller loop that watches, compares, and applies changes until state is aligned. 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.
“The team used Reconciliation Loop before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”
