GitOps Lifecycle Management
summary
Argues for combining pull-based GitOps (Flux reconciles manifests from a git branch) with push-based GitOps (Terraform/Ansible bootstrap non‑K8s infra) and a CI/CD control plane. Shows a concrete workflow: cluster created by Terraform, Flux applies Kubernetes manifests from a git source, GitLab CI packages config as a cosigned OCI artifact into the registry by checksum, then promotes the same artifact dev→test→prod via GitLab environments and a Kubernetes agent. Demo using podinfo demonstrates deployment, review env teardown, and successful promotion.
