Automated Change Deployment
Explore how to automate change deployment in Kubernetes clusters using GitOps principles. Learn to commit updates to the desired state in GitHub and see Flux automatically apply these changes, replacing manual commands and enabling version-controlled, visible system modifications.

Changes are committed to Git that update the system's desired state.
Automated agents running inside the system pull the desired state from Git.
Automated agents apply changes to the system to match the desired state.
