This is a prerequisite for [reconciliation](#reconciliation) to happen [continuously](#continuous), as specified in [principle 4](./PRINCIPLES.md) (Continuously Reconciled).
Note that – in contrast to traditional CI/CD, where automation is generally driven by pre-set triggers – in GitOps, [reconciliation](#reconciliation) is triggered _whenever_ there is a divergence.
