Discuss Linux Foundation CGOA Exam Topic 4 Question 18

You want to deploy an application using GitOps. Which of the following steps should be included in the deployment process?

ARunning a script in CI to deploy the application.

BSkipping the deployment process and directly running the application code.

CManually copying the application code to the production server.

DCommitting the deployment configuration to a Git repository or similar State Store.

Suggested Answer: D

In GitOps, deployments are driven by committing declarative configuration into a Git repository (the State Store). From there, agents reconcile the actual environment to match the desired state, making deployments reproducible and auditable.

''To deploy in GitOps, commit the declarative configuration into version control. The reconciler ensures the runtime environment converges to the declared state.''

Thus, the correct answer is D.

Effie 3 months ago

Wait, are people really copying code manually still?

Adelina 3 months ago

Running a script in CI is a must for automation.

Willetta 3 months ago

Skipping deployment? That's a hard no.

Bok 4 months ago

Definitely need to commit the deployment config to Git!

Tanja 4 months ago

I vaguely recall that manually copying code, as in C, is not recommended in GitOps, but I can't remember why exactly.

Cammy 4 months ago

I practiced a similar question, and I think skipping the deployment process, like in B, goes against the principles of GitOps.

Stefania 4 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like A might be part of the CI/CD process, though it doesn't seem very GitOps-like.

Alberto 4 months ago

I remember that GitOps emphasizes using Git as the single source of truth, so I think D is definitely a key step.
