Hi! I’m Andrei Kvapil CEO of Ænix and developer of Cozystack, an open source platform and framework for building cloud infrastructure. In this article I’ll walk through the way we deliver applications to Kubernetes, explain why regular GitOps can be awkward in local development, an show how the new tool cozypkg fixes those pain points. The article targets engineers who already know Helm and Flux.

First, I’ll introduce Cozystack, as it’s important for the context. Cozystack is a cloud platform that lets you run and offer managed services — databases, VMs, Kubernetes clusters, and more. Cozystack takes care of the full life‑cycle of every service.
