What is Flux CD & How Does It Work? [Tutorial]

Flux CD is a continuous delivery tool that automates GitOps-powered app deployments to Kubernetes clusters. It synchronizes the cluster's state with the configuration defined in your Git repositories and other sources, ensuring apps are deployed continually with minimal risk. Flux CD integrates easily with various tools such as Kubernetes, Helm, Grafana, Istio, Prometheus, Linkerd, Kyverno, and SOPS. It also offers advanced features like Kubernetes RBAC support, policy-driven validation systems integration, automated image patches and updates, compatibility with the Kubernetes Cluster API, and more. Flux CD is easy to get started with but can be customized for powerful deployment workflows.
