Renovate to the Rescue
summary
Renovate is presented as an automation tool that scans infrastructure-as-code and CI files—Argo CD Helm apps, Helm values, Docker image tags, OpenTofu/Terraform, GitLab CI and Python requirements—to open merge requests that bump versions and include changelogs. Configuration uses package rules (per-major or per-minor MRs), regexes for nonstandard files, and a scheduled GitLab Renovate runner; it can automerge patch and minor updates, yielding many automated MRs, faster updates, reduced drift and less manual work.
