Learn how automated agents reconcile drift in systems managed by GitOps.

In GitOps, automated agents like Flux perform two crucial activities that manage system operations. First, automated agents automatically apply changes to the system's runtime when developers commit changes to the desired state, as we have explored. Once the desired state is applied, automated agents ensure that the system continues to conform to it through a process known as reconciliation.

Functions of automated agents in GitOps include:

  • Automated deployment of changes to the system's desired state.

During reconciliation, the automated agents correct ...
