Answers

Correct answer: False
Explanation:
This statement is false because while GitOps does primarily focus on using Git as a single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications, and emphasizes the importance of changes through pull requests, it also inherently includes automated deployment and monitoring. GitOps is not just about using Git for version control and collaboration; it’s also about applying software development practices such as Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) to infrastructure management. This includes automatically applying changes to the infrastructure when commits are made to the repository (automated deployment) and constantly monitoring the state of the infrastructure to ensure it matches the declared state in the repository (monitoring). Therefore, automated deployment and monitoring are integral parts of the GitOps methodology.
