Definitions
Signed Image is a GitOps term for a container image with cryptographic proof attached to the artifact. 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: OpenGitOps principles.
“The team used Signed Image before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”
