A technical case study showing how the Konfigurate IaC/GitOps platform integrated a generative AI assistant using Google Vertex AI and Gemini 1.5. The post covers a multimodal input workflow (text and images), detailed prompt engineering and long-context prompts to produce and modify Kubernetes CRD YAML, why they avoided a RAG/vector-store approach, how they inject environment context at prompt time, metadata/output control, and operational testing and model stability lessons.
