Keynote: Declaring Complexity
summary
GitOps claims that storing infrastructure as code in Git both declares the desired state and captures complexity so humans can reason about systems. It treats Git as the single source of truth, enforces that abstractions are reversible and require no extra documentation, and relies on source control plus CI/CD to detect divergence between desired and actual state. The staircase example warns that over-abstraction makes configuration indecipherable to future engineers.
