Flux CD, Hard (Expert), Architecture. https://k8wiz.com/uquiz/what-does-flux-reconcile-kustomization-my-app-change-on-the-object-to-trigger-a-reconciliation

- A. It deletes the Kustomization and immediately creates it again from the same spec
- B. It bumps metadata.generation by rewriting spec.interval
- C. It sends a webhook event to notification-controller
- D. It sets the reconcile.fluxcd.io/requestedAt annotation to the current time

**Answer:** It sets the reconcile.fluxcd.io/requestedAt annotation to the current time

**Explanation:** Flux controllers reconcile as soon as the reconcile.fluxcd.io/requestedAt annotation changes. The CLI sets it and waits until the status shows the request was handled. A script can trigger the same thing with kubectl annotate --overwrite.
