Why the models rank Argo CD — on best gitops tools for managing infrastructure and applications together
“Best overall for Kubernetes-centric teams: excellent drift visibility, resource topology, multi-cluster ApplicationSets, mature RBAC, Helm/Kustomize support, and a broad ecosystem let one control plane reconcile platform infrastructure and applications; near-tied with Flux, but easier for typical mixed platform-and-app teams to operate”
Why the models rank Crossplane — on best gitops tools for managing infrastructure and applications together
“It unifies infrastructure and applications into a single Kubernetes-native declarative API model, allowing teams to use standard GitOps controllers to continuously reconcile and heal both cloud resources and containerized workloads from a single repository.”
