K8s Automation with Azure DevOps: A GitOps Approach w/o Tools
summary
Concrete claim: use Azure DevOps pipelines and hierarchical YAML to implement GitOps effects without ArgoCD/Flux. Pipeline auto-generates a Dockerfile, builds and pushes images to a container registry, creates Kubernetes manifests, deploys to AKS and commits the generated manifests back into a state repo with manifests. Demo builds a simple console app, pod prints "hello world", manifests land in Git, and a single base pipeline parameterizes CPU, replicas and image version to roll out many services.
