Check https://raygun.com/blog/top-php-frameworks/ I think you provided not a lot of details so don't expect much. I think you might be mixing https://octopus.com/ with other things. Source: 10 months ago
We use Octopus for our deployments (not only k8s, but pretty much every application we have). It might be too powerful (and expensive) for your needs, but I don't think there is a better tool for any kind of application deployment out there (and if you know of one, especially a cheaper one, please let me know ;-) ).

Not open source, but there is also https://octopus.com/ which has a free self-hosted version. It's meant to be a deploy tool, but it has a nice ui for creating/running jobs. They can be scheduled or triggered via other methods. Source: over 1 year ago
At the moment, we are using Octopus Deploy to deploy all of our applications. But with kubernetes, there is such a huge amount of tools to use, so maybe there is stuff out there that can handle our k8s deployments even better. Source: over 1 year ago

A decade ago I worked for a shop that needed to routinely back up 100+ cisco switches and routers and refused to pay for solarwinds. I setup a light weight freebsd vm to run this open source software: https://shrubbery.net/rancid/ (Rancid: Really Awesome New Cisco config Differ) and set it to scrape all the equipment every 12 errors.

Anyways Rancid does support cvs, svn, and git. Though I have only used it with cvs. Basically what it does, is checks out the configuration, downloads the configuration with other information about the state of the device, commits the configurations(which only changed ones will be in the latest check-ins, and then it can send an email of the changes.

RANCID - Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ monitors a router's (or more generally a device's) configuration, including software and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc) and uses CVS (Concurrent Version System), Subversion or Git to maintain history of changes. Source: almost 2 years ago
If you want to use this as an opportunity to learn Ansible, or you don't want to add another tool to the stack, this is a fine use case. Otherwise, I would consider using either RANCID or Oxidized for configuration backup. Source: about 2 years ago
Before I knew about RANCiD (https://shrubbery.net/rancid), I wrote my own Perl application to telnet into a Foundry Networks switch and TFTP its configuration to my computer so I could back it up. At a future employer, I rewrote another coworkers Perl application that collected SNMP values from devices and did stuff with it (forget what all I did then). Source: about 2 years ago
