A GitOps silo happens when the adoption of GitOps practices leads to isolation within the development and operations processes. This creates a disconnect between teams that should be working together to maximize the benefits of GitOps.

It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
