Flux is a command line tool designed to communicate with FluxCD, enabling efficient management of Kubernetes clusters through synchronization with Git repositories and other configuration sources. It leverages the GitOps Toolkit to provide an extensible and efficient way to manage Kubernetes clusters.
Key Features:
Integration with the GitOps Toolkit for composable APIs and tools.
Support for syncing multiple Git repositories, enhancing multi-tenancy capabilities.
Automation of Helm releases and container image updates.
Seamless integration with Prometheus for monitoring and alerting.
Installation via winget for ease of setup.
Audience & Benefit:
Ideal for Kubernetes operators and DevOps teams seeking to streamline continuous delivery processes. Flux enhances efficiency by automating deployment updates, ensuring cluster configurations remain in sync with source repositories, and supporting scalable operations across multiple environments. This tool helps maintain reliability and extensibility, aligning with best practices in Kubernetes management.
README
Flux version 2
Flux is a tool for keeping Kubernetes clusters in sync with sources of
configuration (like Git repositories and OCI artifacts),
and automating updates to configuration when there is new code to deploy.
Flux version 2 ("v2") is built from the ground up to use Kubernetes'
API extension system, and to integrate with Prometheus and other core
components of the Kubernetes ecosystem. In version 2, Flux supports
multi-tenancy and support for syncing an arbitrary number of Git
repositories, among other long-requested features.
Flux v2 is constructed with the GitOps Toolkit, a
set of composable APIs and specialized tools for building Continuous
Delivery on top of Kubernetes.
Flux is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) graduated project, used in
production by various organisations and cloud providers.
Quickstart and documentation
To get started check out this guide
on how to bootstrap Flux on Kubernetes and deploy a sample application in a GitOps manner.
For more comprehensive documentation, see the following guides:
The GitOps Toolkit is the set of APIs and controllers that make up the
runtime for Flux v2. The APIs comprise Kubernetes custom resources,
which can be created and updated by a cluster user, or by other
automation tooling.
You can use the toolkit to extend Flux, or to build your own systems
for continuous delivery -- see the developer
guides.

new contributors and there are a multitude of ways to get involved.
Second: Talk to us in the #flux channel on CNCF Slack.
Please follow our Support Guidelines
(in short: be nice, be respectful of volunteers' time, understand that maintainers and
contributors cannot respond to all DMs, and keep discussions in the public #flux channel as much as possible).
