Exploring Flux CD – enabling CD in Kubernetes
Flux CD automates the application of configurations and updates to a Kubernetes cluster based on changes pushed to a Git repository. This approach not only ensures consistency across environments but also enhances security and auditability by maintaining a clear, version-controlled history of all deployments. Flux continuously monitors a designated Git repository for changes to Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, or configuration files. When a change is detected, Flux automatically applies these updates to the corresponding Kubernetes cluster. This automation is comprehensive, extending not only to applications but also to the Kubernetes infrastructure itself, enabling entire environments to be managed as code.
Key features of Flux CD include the following:
- Automated synchronization: Flux regularly checks the Git repository for changes and synchronizes the state of the cluster accordingly
- Immutable deployments: By treating...
