KodeShift – Pipeline, GitOps, and Deployment Management
KodeShift's management engine brings together everything DevOps teams need to create, run, observe, and rollback CI/CD pipelines and GitOps deployments. All operations are declarative, reproducible, and auditable.
What Can You Manage?
CI/CD Pipelines
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Pipeline Definition | Uses .kodeshift.yaml with support for includes, common scripts, and environment configs. |
| Stage Control | Define multi-stage steps (build, test, security scan, deploy) with retry logic. |
| Init Containers | Custom scripts (e.g., clone, scan, fetch secrets) via init_script blocks. |
| Vault Variables | HashiCorp Vault support; secrets injected as KS_ prefixed env vars (project & namespace). |
| Log Streaming | Real-time logs per stage with export and error trace. |
| Retry/Cancel | Retry failed stages or cancel entire pipeline mid-run. |
ArgoCD GitOps
| Feature | Functionality |
|---|---|
| Project Management | Create ArgoCD projects from UI with RBAC settings |
| Repository Integration | Add Git repositories via GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket using Vault or PAT |
| Cluster Binding | Manage ArgoCD’s clusters (internal or remote) |
| Application Control | Launch apps with Helm, define values, and monitor status |
| Rollback Operations | Rollback deployments from any previous revision |
| App Tree Visualization | Inspect resource tree, manifest, events, and parameter overrides per app |
Additional Management Features
- Pod Logs – Inspect live logs from deployed applications
- Event Viewer – Track real-time ArgoCD application events
- Audit Trail – Every deployment/change/action is tracked
- Metrics Support – Collect pipeline duration, success rate, error types, etc.
Security Architecture
- All deployments and pipelines are executed via Kubernetes Jobs
- Vault integration ensures secrets are never stored on disk
- API tokens, SSH keys, Helm values, and
.kodeshift.yamlare handled securely - All job manifests are versioned and fully auditable
- Access is RBAC-enforced across pipelines, projects, and clusters
User Experience
- Dashboards – Project-level and tenant-level dashboards for usage & status
- Visual Editors – Create
.kodeshift.yamlpipelines with optional UI - Error Surfaces – Immediate feedback and remediation guides
- Live Monitoring – Track builds, deployments, and rollbacks in real-time
