FLUX: AUTOMATING CLUSTER STATE MANAGEMENT AND UPDATES THROUGH GITOPS IN KUBERNETES

Abstract

Flux is an inventive and dynamic continuation of cloud-native technologies that offers GitOps for automated updates and state management of Kubernetes clusters. Flux is able to effortlessly offer a synchronization between the desired state stated in the source code and the actual state of the Kubernetes cluster since it uses git repositories as the only source of truth. Its specialized controllers for a wide range of tasks and modular architecture offer flexibility and scalability, which are essential in the many deployment situations and utilization tools. Flux is a dependable and tested corporate technology as more and more businesses embrace GitOps techniques for improved teamwork, traceability, and dependability. The Flux architecture, components, and GitOps concepts that support Flux's implementation for Kubernetes are examined in detail in this paper. Better deployment, version control, and automatic updates are among the advantages of
