#declarative

Declarative Configuration is a GitOps term for configuration that describes the intended result instead of step-by-step commands. 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; Argo CD documentation.

“The team used Declarative Configuration before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”
