Roll Forward
Definitions
Roll Forward is a GitOps term for fixing an issue by moving to a newer corrected version instead of going backward. 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 Roll Forward before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”
