   Organizational Systems include the customer's tracking, monitoring, notification, container registries, Git providers, and other systems. They can be entirely on-premises or in the public cloud.   
   Either the ingress controller (ingress-based hybrid environments), or the Tunnel Client (tunnel-based hybrid environments), forwards incoming events to the GitOps Application Proxy. 
 
+## Data flow: GitOps Runtime & external systems
+The GitOps Runtime interacts with external systems and components in the customer environment to enable GitOps operations and processes.
+
+* **Runtime cluster**  
+  * Both Argo CD and Codefresh components within the Runtime interact with the Runtime cluster’s Kubernetes API server.
+  * Argo CD components also access managed clusters registered to GitOps Runtimes to deploy applications.
+
+* **Git providers**  
+  * Argo CD components access Git providers such as GitHub. Git provider credentials are always securlety stored in the customer’s cluster.
+  * Codefresh components also access the Git provider to enable UI-driven commits and pull requests.
+
+* **Container registries and Jira (optional)**  
+  If enrichment functionality is enabled, jobs can be executed within the Runtime cluster or a CI system to retrieve metadata from those container registries and Jira instances integrated with Codefresh.
