Essentials

Day One explained GitOps from the developer's side of the fence — you merge, Flux reconciles, you never touch kubectl apply. Essentials is written for whoever owns that Flux install: setting it up, deciding what ships as an OCI artifact, and keeping the cluster a consequence of the artifact rather than a pile of hand-applied state.

More Essentials topics — installing Flux, bootstrapping a cluster, and GitRepositories and Kustomizations from the ground up — are still on the way.
