summary
Describes using Prow as the CI engine to drive cluster lifecycle: pre/ post/ periodic jobs, tide batch merges, and webhook plugins that run kops + Terraform + Helmfile pipelines and kind-based tests. Configs live in two repos: automation code and cluster configs that contain a git SHA; an auto bumper opens PRs to update SHAs after successful deploy jobs. Pull requests test in about 5–10 minutes, clusters serve services for ~29 million Sonos devices and the workflow is in production.
