The Pulled Automatically GitOps principle refers to the way software agents continuously access the Desired State stored in the State Store (e.g., Git). Agents automatically pull the state from the repository and reconcile the system accordingly.

''Software agents automatically pull the desired state declarations from the source of truth (State Store) and continuously reconcile the system to match.''

Thus, the correct answer is D.

===========

Declarative configuration describes what the system should look like, not how to achieve it. This enables the use of standard reconciliation tools (like ArgoCD or Flux) to manage the system automatically, removing the burden of writing and maintaining imperative scripts.

''Declarative configuration enables systems to be managed by generic reconciliation tools rather than bespoke scripts, reducing operational overhead and increasing reliability.''

Thus, the correct answer is B.

===========

Linting tools are essential in GitOps practices for maintaining consistency, standardization, and quality in configuration files. Automated linters can validate YAML manifests, Helm charts, or Kustomize overlays for formatting and best practices.

''Linters automate the enforcement of formatting and quality rules in declarative configuration files. They ensure standardized structure and reduce errors in GitOps workflows.''

Thus, the correct answer is C.

===========

In GitOps, the desired state is stored in Git. Manual updates applied directly to the cluster (via kubectl or APIs) change the actual state without updating Git. This introduces drift between actual and desired state.

''Manual changes to the runtime environment cause the actual state to diverge from the desired state stored in Git. This drift must be detected and reconciled automatically.''

Thus, the correct answer is C.

===========

One of the four fundamental GitOps principles is Versioned and Immutable. This means that the entire system's desired state must be stored in a Git repository with version control. Each change must be represented as a commit, and Git's immutability guarantees a reliable, auditable history of how the system evolved.

''The desired state is stored in a version control system. The record of truth is stored in an immutable history, and changes can be audited and reverted if necessary. This guarantees that the system's configuration is versioned, immutable, and traceable.''

Thus, configuration and infrastructure must be version-controlled and immutable, never changed directly in production.
