What it shows

  • ClickOps is fast for prototypes but creates undocumented configuration drift.
  • Infrastructure as Code defines environments declaratively in versioned files.
  • GitOps continuously reconciles cluster state against Git as the source of truth.

The takeaway

IaC defines resources in code; GitOps automates continuous reconciliation against Git.
