KCNA GitOps and Continuous Delivery

Question 1

What is the fundamental principle of GitOps?

Accepted Answer

Git is used as the single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications

Answer

GitOps uses Git as the single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and application configurations, enabling automated and auditable deployment workflows.

Question 2

Which deployment model does GitOps primarily rely on?

Accepted Answer

Pull-based deployment where an in-cluster operator pulls changes from Git

Answer

GitOps primarily uses a pull-based model where an operator running inside the cluster continuously watches Git and pulls desired-state changes to apply them.

Question 3

What is a GitOps reconciliation loop?

Accepted Answer

A continuous process that compares actual cluster state with desired state in Git and corrects drift

Answer

The reconciliation loop continuously compares the actual state of the cluster with the desired state stored in Git and automatically corrects any detected drift.

Question 4

Which of the following is a GitOps continuous delivery tool built specifically for Kubernetes?

Accepted Answer

ArgoCD

Answer

ArgoCD is a declarative GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes that monitors Git repositories and synchronizes cluster state to match the desired state defined there.

Question 5

What is 'drift' in the context of GitOps?

Accepted Answer

When the actual cluster state differs from the desired state defined in Git

Answer

Drift occurs when the actual running state of the cluster diverges from the desired state defined in Git, which GitOps operators detect and automatically remediate.
