Guardrails for GitOps sync outages
WHAT IT TESTS: layered safeguards around GitOps. OUTLINE: pre-merge schema validation, dry-run, policy gates and review; post-merge progressive sync, health checks with automated rollback, and pruning controls.
WHAT IT TESTS: defense in depth for declarative delivery. ANSWER OUTLINE: pre-merge in CI, validate manifests against schemas, run a server-side dry-run, enforce policy with OPA or Kyverno, lint and require review on protected branches. Post-merge in the GitOps tool, use staged or progressive rollout, health assessment that halts or self-heals, automated rollback on failed sync, and careful prune settings. RED FLAG: leaning on manual review only, or one check, instead of layered automated gates.
