GitOps

What is Flux?

A GitOps tool that syncs Kubernetes clusters continuously from Git repositories.

Flux is a CNCF graduated GitOps tool for Kubernetes. It watches Git repositories and automatically applies changes to your cluster when the repository changes. Flux is composed of controllers: Source Controller (watches Git/Helm/OCI repos), Kustomize Controller, Helm Controller, and Notification Controller. Unlike ArgoCD, Flux has no built-in UI but integrates with Weave GitOps. Flux v2 was rewritten as composable controllers following the GitOps Toolkit spec.
