Don't Let the Model Write the YAML: Deterministic, Minimal-Diff GitOps Remediation from LLM-Proposed Field Changes
AI InsightThis study exposes the core tension in LLM-driven GitOps remediation: model-generated patches appear usable but contain a high rate of silent errors and are capability-dependent. What matters is not whether models can propose fixes, but how to turn suggestions into deterministic changes. Future infrastructure automation will shift from 'model writes files' to 'model proposes changes, tools ensure safe application'.Key TakeawayLLM-driven remediation is shifting from directly generating files/patches to constrained field-level changes.Why It MattersGitOps pipelines emphasize auditability and rollback, and silent errors in LLM patches can cause configuration drift or production incidents. This study proves with data that current methods are unreliable, pushing enterprises toward more conservative change mechanisms and affecting LLM adoption in infrastructure automation.Who's Affected- Devops EngineersField-level deterministic remediation may reduce configuration incidents and rollback costs.
- LLM Application DevelopersModel output formats and validation flows need redesign to avoid direct patch generation.
- Gitops Tool VendorsIntegration layers could safely translate LLM suggestions into minimal diffs.
