Admission Policy is a GitOps term for a rule that evaluates resources before they are accepted by the cluster. 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.

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

CRD is a GitOps term for a CustomResourceDefinition that teaches Kubernetes about a new resource type. 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.

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

Custom Resource is a GitOps term for a Kubernetes API extension managed by controllers. 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.

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

Finalizer is a GitOps term for metadata that lets a controller clean up before deletion finishes. 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.

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

Kubernetes Manifest is a GitOps term for YAML or JSON that declares Kubernetes resource state. 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; Kubernetes controller pattern.

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

Kyverno Policy is a GitOps term for a Kubernetes-native policy rule for validating, mutating, or generating resources. 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.

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

OPA Gatekeeper is a GitOps term for a Kubernetes policy system often used to enforce admission constraints. 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.

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

Owner Reference is a GitOps term for metadata linking a resource to the object that controls it. 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.

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