An Autonomous GitOps Framework for Streamlined Kubernetes Infrastructure Management

Abstract

This research project explores the convergence of DevOps, GitOps and MLOps paradigms by leveraging its core principles to Implement InfraPilotX: An Autonomous Framework for Streamlined Kubernetes Infrastructure Management in Business Eco-systems. While existing studies emphasize GitOps capabilities such as version control as the source of truth, declarative system states, automated synchronization, rollback mechanisms, and containerized infrastructure management, they fail to deliver a comprehensive, business-ready GitOps framework that seamlessly integrates multi-cloud applications, CI/CD, MLOps, and monitoring solutions. To bridge this gap, this research introduces a streamlined, automation-driven GitOps framework tailored for business ecosystems, addressing high setup overheads, poor component integration, and lack of multi-cloud deployment support. The proposed InfraPilotX leverages ArgoCD Autopilot as its backbone, automates cloud infrastructure provisioning, CI/CD workflows, MLOps pipelines, and observability integrations while maintaining GitOps principles. InfraPilotX significantly reduces cognitive workload, simplifies Kubernetes infrastructure management, and enhances cross-cloud migration, rollback, and recovery mechanisms.
