GitAIOps: A 4-Layer Architecture for Predictable AI-Assisted Operations
summary
A 4-layer Git layout becomes persistent memory: Layer 1: Human plans in Git (36 files, 23,854 lines); Layer 2: Distilled AI context (6 files, 1,254 lines, 19:1 compression); Layer 3: Command Guardrails (117 files; enforced ordering, no AI-generated dangerous commands); Layer 4: Locked values (30 files; zero interpretation, reviewed like code). Applied to a live migration (15 Helm releases, Kafka ZK→KRaft, Redis→Valkey, full observability rebuild), every AI action reads Git, executes, and commits back, cutting DEV from 2 weeks→2 days and PROD from 1 week→1 day.
