[All CGOA Questions]

In the context of GitOps, what source of truth guides the continuous deployment process?

BDynamic State

CFleeting State

ADesired State

DCurrent State

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The Desired State, stored in Git, is the ultimate source of truth in GitOps. It defines how the system should look and behave. Continuous deployment processes reconcile the actual cluster state against this Desired State.

''In GitOps, the desired state kept in Git is the single source of truth. The reconciler ensures the actual state matches the desired state, guiding the continuous deployment process.''

Thus, the correct answer is A.

Yup, all changes should go through Git for deployment.

Wait, so the repo is the only source? That seems risky.

I feel like there was a similar question in our mock exams, and it was about how GitOps automates deployments based on changes in the repository.

From what I studied, the source of truth is definitely the Git repo, but I wonder how that ties into the actual deployment tools we use.

I remember practicing a question about how GitOps uses version control, but I can't recall if it specifically mentioned anything beyond Git.

I think the source of truth in GitOps is usually the Git repository, but I'm not entirely sure how it interacts with the deployment process.

The Git repository is the source of truth in GitOps. All the configuration and code for the infrastructure and applications are stored and versioned in Git, and the continuous deployment process uses this Git repo as the single source of truth to deploy the changes.

Okay, I've heard about GitOps before, but I'm a bit fuzzy on the details. I think the key is that the Git repository is the central source of truth that drives the continuous deployment, but I'm not 100% sure.

From what I understand, in GitOps, the Git repository is the single source of truth that defines the desired state of the infrastructure and applications. The continuous deployment process then uses this Git repo to automatically deploy the changes.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know GitOps is all about using Git as the central source of truth, but I'm not confident about the specifics of how it guides the continuous deployment process.
