The situation
A Kubernetes environment has undocumented live changes.
GitOps Implementation
GitOps uses versioned, declarative desired state and automated reconciliation to manage systems. It adds a reviewable relationship between approved configuration and the environment that runs it.
- Define the desired-state boundary
- Implement reconciliation
- Handle drift and failure
Is this right for you?
When this is the right work.
Environment changes drift from version control or recovery depends on undocumented manual steps.
The first conversation establishes the environment, the constraint and who will accept the result. We agree a bounded starting point before expanding the engagement.
Scope
What DotConn delivers.
- 01
Define the desired-state boundary
Choose which infrastructure or application configuration belongs in Git and who approves it.
- 02
Implement reconciliation
Connect the selected delivery controller, configuration structure and environment permissions.
- 03
Handle drift and failure
Agree rollback behavior, secret handling, exceptions and the response when reconciliation cannot converge.
Deliverables
What you receive.
Acceptance criteria identify the checks, records and handover needed for the agreed scope.
- Repository and environment design
- GitOps controller and deployment configuration
- Drift, rollback and exception runbooks
In practice
A practical example.
Our approach
We define a controlled configuration source, introduce reconciliation and make exceptional changes visible.
The useful result
The customer can review how an approved state becomes a running environment.
Responsibility
Agree the responsibility.
DotConn
Assesses and delivers the technical work in the agreed scope, with reviewable changes and handover. Continuing operation requires a separately defined managed-service scope.
Your team
Provides authorized access, business priorities and accountable decision-makers; approves policy choices and accepts the agreed result.
Set this boundary early
GitOps is an operating approach, not a substitute for testing. Secrets, destructive changes and break-glass actions require explicit controls.
FAQ
Questions worth resolving.
Is GitOps the same as a CI/CD pipeline?
No. CI can build and test artifacts; GitOps reconciles declared environment state. They can work together in a delivery system.
Pricing, timing and how to prepare are covered in working with DotConn.

CI/CD Pipeline Engineering
Continuous integration and delivery create a repeatable path from code change to a releasable application. The pipeline makes tests, artifacts, approvals and environment transitions explicit.
ExploreKubernetes Consulting & Implementation
Kubernetes orchestrates containerized workloads using a declared desired state. Choosing Kubernetes is also a decision about deployment, identity, networking, storage and the team that will operate the platform.
ExploreManaged DevOps
Managed DevOps provides ongoing responsibility for specified delivery and infrastructure-engineering activities. It turns a pipeline project into a maintained operating capability with defined scope and escalation.
ExploreDevSecOps Consulting & Implementation
DevSecOps integrates security decisions and evidence into software delivery. It connects checks to ownership and remediation, so a failed scan has somewhere useful to go.
