GitOps
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Using a Git repository as the "single source of truth" for infrastructure and application configuration. Any change to infrastructure must be triggered through a Git commit (Pull Request), rather than manual operations on servers. Scaffolding role: operations traceability. No one is allowed to SSH into servers to change configurations. All changes must leave a code record. Turn operations actions into code management, achieving "press Ctrl+Z to roll back the entire data center".
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Operations traceability. No one is allowed to SSH into servers to change configurations. All changes must leave a code record. Turn operations actions into code management, achieving "press Ctrl+Z to roll back the entire data center".
Anchor fast decisions
Using a Git repository as the "single source of truth" for infrastructure and application configuration. The mechanism is **declarative + automated reconciliation**—any change to the environment is triggered through a Git PR, and then a controller continuously pulls the actual state toward the desired state declared in Git, prohibiting manual SSH to servers. This achieves operations traceability and rollback.
