raffis/gitops-zombies — Identify kubernetes resources which are not managed by GitOps

Description and use

Raffis/gitops‑zombies is an open‑source utility that scans a Kubernetes cluster and flags resources that are not under GitOps control—i.e., resources that lack a corresponding manifest in the configured Git repository. By highlighting these “zombie” objects, it helps teams enforce declarative infrastructure, prevent configuration drift, and maintain a clean, fully version‑controlled cluster state.

Problem

raffis/gitops-zombies helps engineers save time in daily development and review loops.

Outcome

Medium: useful for prototypes or internal workflows, with dependency and maintenance checks before production.

Workflow

• speed up developer workflows
• automate local engineering tasks
• improve CI feedback

Evidence
