     - Other components, called controllers, watch configuration changes and read the desired state. Then, they try to reconcile the desired state with the actual state. It’s nothing revolutionary: Puppet is based on the same control-loop approach, and AFAIK, Chef. Generally, a controller manages a single type of object, e.g., the DeploymentController manages deployments.
