More about FluxCD

FluxCD is an open-source tool for GitOps-based continuous delivery on Kubernetes. It automatically synchronizes the state of a Kubernetes cluster with the contents of a Git repository, ensuring that the infrastructure always matches the declared desired state.

History

Flux was originally developed by Weaveworks and donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as an incubating project in 2019. The first generation (Flux v1) was a single deployment, while Flux v2 – known as Flux2 – is built on the modular GitOps Toolkit and was released as a stable version in 2021.

In November 2022, Flux was recognized as a graduated CNCF project. With support for Helm, Kustomize, OCI artifacts, and multi-cluster scenarios, Flux has established itself as one of the leading GitOps solutions in the Kubernetes ecosystem.
