What is GitOps and why should I use it?

GitOps is an operational framework that takes DevOps best practices used for application development, such as version control and CI/CD, and applies them to infrastructure automation. It provides a single source of truth and automated reconciliation for your cluster state.

Does this skill support both ArgoCD and Flux CD?

Yes, this skill provides detailed implementation guides, setup commands, and configuration manifests for both ArgoCD and Flux CD.

How does this skill handle Kubernetes secrets in Git?

The skill includes best practices for secret management, specifically recommending the External Secrets Operator or Sealed Secrets to ensure sensitive information is not stored as plain text in Git.

Can I use this for progressive delivery like Canary releases?

Yes, it includes specific configurations for ArgoCD Rollouts to enable Canary and Blue-Green deployment strategies for safer production releases.
