#reconciliation

Reconciliation is a GitOps term for the repeated process of moving live state closer to desired 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: OpenGitOps principles; Kubernetes controller pattern; Flux documentation.

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