trunk-validate

To validate trunk-based migration integrity before merging, you can run automated checks against your repository to verify kustomize builds, pipeline components, review apps, secrets, and production gates. This enforces correct config usage and safe defaults prior to MR creation.

Trunk-based migration validation is an automated process that verifies environment readiness and configuration correctness. It is needed because trunk-based migrations are error-prone and can derail releases if environments, secrets, and pipeline components are not checked before merging.

You can check environment scoping and secrets by running a six-check validation workflow that specifically inspects secrets, review apps, and pipeline components. This ensures proper environment scoping and correct configuration usage before your trunk migration is merged.

Yes, trunk validation supports kustomize builds and CI pipeline components. It executes comprehensive checks to validate these artifacts across multiple environments and stages to ensure safe defaults within your continuous integration workflow.

The best way to prevent configuration errors in trunk migrations is to apply automated pre-merge guardrails. By executing six comprehensive checks on kustomize builds, secrets, and production gates, you validate environment readiness and ensure correct config usage before merging.

Trunk migrations often fail during release because local checks do not validate production gates, pipeline components, or environment scoping. Running an automated six-check validation identifies these issues by enforcing safe defaults and proper config usage before merge request creation.
