Welcome to the Kokumi documentation.

Kokumi is a Kubernetes operator for OCI-first GitOps config delivery that preserves the review and traceability properties of Git. As OCI becomes the standard mechanism for shipping Kubernetes config, most tools trade away Git’s human review and audit trail to get there. Kokumi keeps both: OCI artifacts as the immutable source of truth, with approval gates and full render visibility before anything reaches your cluster.

You describe an application once as a Product, and each variant of it, such as one environment, as an Order. Every change renders an immutable, signed OCI artifact, a Preparation, and the Order’s Serving promotes one of them and deploys it through Argo CD to the Clusters of the Order’s Environment. Architecture introduces every resource.
