I am trying to understand the Gitlab K8s agent. But it looks like it requires the developer to commit changes to a manifest file before it can deploy them to K8s. This is a challenge when trying to do auto deploys using Gitlab pipelines because those pipelines run after the commit. So how is the user supposed to create a new commit in an automated way that the Gitlab K8s agent can pick up?
I am wondering if anyone is using Gitlab and their K8s agent for auto deploying to K8s. Would really appreciate if you could throw some light on this.
