Red Hat OpenShift as a Hybrid Engine for GitOps Driven Application Modernization
Using Red Hat OpenShift as a hybrid engine for GitOps-driven application modernization is less about a single product choice and more about establishing a consistent, Git-centric way of working across diverse infrastructures ...
GitOps Wasn’t Built for Models, and It Shows
GitOps won the deployment argument. Everything goes in Git, the cluster reconciles itself to match, and your repository becomes the one place that tells you what’s actually running. It’s clean and auditable ...
GitOps in Practice: How to Design a Scalable CI/CD Pipeline with GitLab and GKE
A scalable CI/CD pipeline on GitLab and Google Kubernetes Engine starts with one decision: do you treat the pipeline as a delivery system you design, or as a YAML file you copy ...
When Your Cluster Won’t Sit Still: The Hidden Cost of Kubernetes Autonomy During Incidents
I’ve spent the better part of the last few years on the receiving end of Kubernetes pages, both as an operator and as someone building tooling for platform teams. The pattern I’ve ...
Architecting Enterprise GitOps: Scaling Argo CD on OKE
The industry is shifting to pull-based GitOps with Argo CD to solve configuration drift across Kubernetes fleets ...

Beyond the Green Checkmark: Using Formal Verification to Stop ArgoCD Drift
In the cloud-native landscape, GitOps leads the way for continuous delivery, yet relying solely on synchronization can mask systemic issues. This article outlines the importance of formal verification in deploying Kubernetes manifests ...
Enterprise Kubernetes Isn’t a Cluster. It’s a Platform and a Supply Chain.
Kubernetes is the OS for modern apps — but enterprises need platforms, not just clusters. Focus on standardized paved paths, supply‑chain security (signing, SBOMs, provenance), GitOps + policy automation, multi‑tenant guardrails, and ...
Promotion Across Kubernetes and Hybrid Environments
In 2026, multi- and hybrid environments are increasingly the norm. For platform engineering, DevOps and application developers, this adds complexity to the software delivery lifecycle. For cloud-native teams, Kubernetes may anchor application ...
