| ### Limitations | ||
|
|
||
| - The current solution expects all the target environments to be specified in the Pipeline CR. Because of this, pipelines that need to target hundreds of environments require a lot of effort from the user in order to keep the CR up-to-date. | ||
| - The first environment of the pipeline is expected to be set up already before any promotions take place. In fact, the pipelines feature as a whole does very little to help the user establish a full CD pipeline. A better approach would be for the user to describe **what** and **where** and the pipeline controller to take care of the rest across **all** environments, including the first one. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'd flesh out the wording a bit:
"for the user" -- yesterday, we suggested that this person would be an app developer
"to describe what" -- follow up with "they want to deploy (GitRepository + Kustomization)"
"and where:" -- follow up with "fleets of clusters"
