ArgoCD and Flux (GitOps Reconciliation Loop).
Updated Apr 28, 2026
Short answer
GitOps controllers implement a reconciliation loop that constantly compares the cluster's state to the Git repository.
Deep explanation
They pull the Git repository, render the manifests (Helm/Kustomize), query the Kubernetes API for the live state, and calculate the diff. If a drift is detected, they execute patching operations to sync the cluster back to Git. This ensures zero manual drift and high resilience.
