Which product is built using the GitOps Toolkit, a set of composable APIs and specialised tools for building GitOps-based continuous delivery systems?

• A. Argo CD
• B. Jenkins X
• C. Spinnaker
• D. Flux

Answer: (D)

GitOps Toolkit provides a set of composable building blocks—controllers and APIs—that you can use to construct GitOps-based continuous delivery systems. These controllers (handling sources from Git, applying Kustomize or Helm manifests, updating container images, and more) let you model the desired state in Git and have the system reconcile that state in the cluster automatically. Flux is the product built on these building blocks, using the Toolkit under the hood to implement Git-driven deployments. It continuously watches Git repositories, reconciles the desired manifests to the cluster, and supports automated image updates and other GitOps workflows. Other tools like Argo CD, Jenkins X, and Spinnaker exist in the ecosystem but are not built on the GitOps Toolkit. Argo CD, for example, has its own architecture and controllers separate from the Toolkit.
