Summary
Originalist GitOps is defined as a tool that automatically deploys Kubernetes resources to a Kubernetes cluster by synchronizing the cluster with a git repository. The analogy in this chapter showed what originalist GitOps tools are able to do, some requirements of those tools, benefits and drawbacks, and the different types of originalist GitOps tools used in the industry.
The next chapter will explore the purist GitOps school of thought, showing how it is different than originalist GitOps and what tools can be used to accomplish a purist GitOps practice.
