Fleet is a high-scale GitOps system built to support the realities of multi-cluster operations. Instead of pushing YAMLs or relying on brittle scripts, Fleet treats Git as the authoritative state and continuously reconciles that state across every cluster under management.

Its architecture uses lightweight agents, bundling, and content distribution to propagate changes efficiently - whether you’re managing five clusters or five thousand. Policies, Helm charts, CRDs, and raw manifests all become versioned, reviewable, and auditable through Git.

Fleet integrates cleanly with Rancher, enabling teams to automate cluster bootstrapping, enforce standards, roll out updates safely, and instantly detect drift. It excels in environments that demand consistency: edge fleets, hybrid cloud estates, regulated sectors, and platform teams building opinionated Kubernetes platforms.
