GitOps prefers pull-based deployment.

Auditability, rollbacks, and consistency.

Every change is reviewed and tracked.

Popular GitOps tool for Kubernetes.

Another widely-used GitOps controller.

Controllers detect and fix drift.

Infra changes go through review like code.

Encrypt secrets — never commit them raw.

Manage dev, staging, and prod via Git.

See sync status and drift clearly.

GitOps is declarative and pull-based.
