Stairway To GitOps (feat. Production)
summary
Morgan Stanley describes a production GitOps platform that standardizes deployments across on‑prem and multiple cloud providers, with Flux installed on 500+ clusters reconciling tens of thousands of Flux resources. They replace git sources with S3 buckets as source store (while preserving developer repos via a CI push service), implement mTLS and impersonation for least‑privilege multi‑tenancy, tune controller concurrency to cut control‑plane CPU, and surface Flux custom metrics in Prometheus/Grafana for developer observability.
