I disagree on the basis that managing kubernetes deployments isn’t necessarily done in a GitOps fashion. You have to elect to. You might manage your deployments with manifests that you don’t store in git at all, with no automation to synchronize your git repository state to cluster state. You might opt to manage your cluster in a ClickOps fashion with one of the many GUI tools available for doing so. Kubernetes can be managed in a GitOps fashion, but you have to elect to do so. And in that way I don’t see how anybody could say they correlate.
