- A) FluxCD
- B) ArgoCD
- C) Both
- D) Neither

- B) FluxCD
- C) Both have equal support
- D) Neither supports OCI

- A) ArgoCD (native)
- B) FluxCD (native)
- C) Both have native support
- D) Neither has native support

- A) No, they are mutually exclusive
- B) Yes, they can complement each other
- C) Only in development environments
- D) Only with special configuration
Show Answer
Answer: B) Yes, they can complement each other
Explanation: ArgoCD and FluxCD can be used together. A common pattern is using FluxCD for infrastructure management and image automation while using ArgoCD for application deployments with its UI.
