The next chapter introduces the basic tools for GitOps, notably Argo CD and Flux. References [1.1] https://developers.redhat.com/topics/devops [1.2] https://developers.redhat status in the CNCF. Flux In the chapter What is GitOps? I told the story of how Weaveworks recovered from an outage, inspiring cofounder Alexis Richardson to coin the term “GitOps.” Flux (and Flagger) were

Flagger to automate canary releases in a GitOps pipeline. Whenever the GitOps operator, in their case, Flux, detects a new version, Flagger spins up a new canary release and shifts traffic gradually over from to Git. Leverage open source tools like Flux & Flagger as a POC GitOps is powered by open source tools that are backed by large developer communities. Flux and Flagger are two key open source tools delivered a transformative open source tool with Flux; managing Kubernetes deployments at scale is now easy and fast.” — Nicolas Chaillan, DoD Along with Flux and Flagger, leveraging open source tools like

desired state to ensure the system is running like expected. The most popular GitOps tools today are ​Flux ​and ​ArgoCD​. As several organizations are adopting GitOps tools, it is clear that a set of best most cases, this is not what you want. State difference Argo supports ​custom diffs​ and Flux​ has a recommendation​ but I consider these workarounds as simple hacks that move away from the different from the cluster state a new deployment should take place. At the time of writing, neither ​Flux ​nor ​ArgoCD​ supports this basic Helm scenario. There are several workarounds and limitations that

engineers focus on building container images and managing the testing of their microservices and Weave Flux handles the deployments.” The Platform Team wanted to leverage a tool that would integrate well with with the engineer’s existing pipelines and automate changes applied to the system. Choosing Weave Flux allowed their engineers to focus on building assets, testing them in specific environments while
