How GitOps Drift Destroys Production Reliability

Lucas and Luna examine why infrastructure-as-code fails when human intervention creates silent drift. Using a real-world case where a manual port change bypassed a Terraform state, they show how reconciliation loops mask errors until deployment day. The episode explains the specific mechanics of state file locking, the danger of partial updates in CI/CD pipelines, and how to audit your own clusters for unmanaged resources before an outage occurs. #DevOpsDaily #GitOpsDrift #TerraformState #KubernetesOperations #InfrastructureAsCode #CICDPipelines #ProductionReliability #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechEngineering #CloudCosts #SREPractices #ConfigManagement #SystemFailure #DigitalTransformation #SoftwareOps #CloudComputing #DevSecOps Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
