To bootstrap a GitOps repository for platform clusters, you can scaffold the repo with platform-shared and per-namespace resources, then wire Flux CD to manage OpenChoreo platform CRDs directly via Git for reproducible cluster management.

Authoring platform CRDs via Git is best handled by applying declarative GitOps practices that scaffold per-namespace resources and provide templates, enabling validation and drift recovery entirely through your repository layout.

This GitOps scaffolding workflow applies to pristine clusters, platform-only installations, and active clusters, allowing you to wire Flux CD and manage OpenChoreo platform resources across all these environment states.

Yes, you need the OpenChoreo CLI tooling context, specifically the occ and flux commands, to execute the declarative workflow for scaffolding GitOps repos and wiring Flux CD for platform clusters.

GitOps drift recovery for OpenChoreo platform resources works by using Flux CD to continuously reconcile your cluster state with the declarative platform CRDs authored in your scaffolded Git repository.

A key limitation is that managing per-namespace scoping with platform CRDs in Git requires strict adherence to the specific repo layout and GitOps practices defined by the OpenChoreo platform engine to avoid configuration drift.
