KitOps is a CNCF open-source DevOps tool (Kit CLI, written in Go) that packages AI/ML models, datasets, code, prompts, agent skills, and MCP configurations into versioned, signed OCI artifacts (ModelKits/ModelPack) stored in existing container registries. It brings container-style packaging, versioning, and supply-chain security to AI projects and integrates with CI/CD pipelines and MLOps tools like MLflow.

Use cases

  • package a model with its datasets and configs into a versioned artifact
  • version and share AI projects through our existing container registry
  • import models from HuggingFace into a portable package
  • reproduce the exact model, prompt, and config combination running in production
  • sign and secure our AI supply chain with SBOMs and Cosign
  • automate ModelKit creation in CI/CD pipelines from MLflow runs
  • self-host models in air-gapped or security-conscious environments

When to choose

  • you need reproducible, versioned packaging of models, datasets, prompts, and agent configs together
  • you want to store AI artifacts in an existing OCI registry (Docker Hub, Harbor, GitLab) without lock-in
  • security, signing, and compliance matter for your AI supply chain
  • you deploy self-hosted models or agentic AI stacks on Kubernetes or air-gapped infrastructure

When to avoid

  • you only need a lightweight model hub without OCI/registry infrastructure
  • your workflow is purely notebook-based experimentation with no deployment needs
  • you need full model serving or monitoring rather than packaging and distribution
