GitOps is the combination of two winning approaches: infrastructure as code and Git-based workflows to accept configuration changes and deploy them. In Kubernetes, GitOps generally is implemented with a set of manifests (or manifest templates) stored in a Git repository and a Kubernetes operator that deploys these manifests into a Kubernetes cluster. At the time of writing, the two most popular operators in this space are Argo CD and Flux (see also this article for an in depth comparison).
