Start Related Practices PracticeWhy is 'Git' considered the 'source of truth' in GitOps?
Explanation: Git provides a clear, immutable, and auditable history of every change made to the system, which is essential for reproducibility.
In a GitOps environment, what is the main purpose of maintaining Infrastructure as Code?
Explanation: IaC allows the entire infrastructure stack to be versioned, audited, and recreated reliably, mirroring the application deployment process.
Your organization wants to implement DevSecOps by integrating security scanning into a GitOps pipeline. Where should the vulnerability scan happen to prevent insecure configurations from ever reaching the cluster?
Explanation: Shifting left means scanning code before it is applied to the cluster, ensuring the Git repository acts as a gatekeeper.
A company uses Terraform for IaC and Argo CD for application delivery. How should they manage the dependency between infrastructure provisioning and app deployment to ensure GitOps consistency?
Explanation: Using a tool like Crossplane or an orchestrator ensures that infrastructure and applications are synchronized through the same Git-based reconciliation loop.
When mapping a traditional CI/CD pipeline to GitOps, what is the primary role of the CD tool?
Explanation: In GitOps, the CD tool acts as a continuous reconciler that pulls changes from Git to match the cluster state.
