Resource Pruning
Definitions
Resource Pruning is a GitOps term for the controlled deletion of unmanaged or removed resources during sync. 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.
“The team used Resource Pruning before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”
