Flux

Before you start

Prepare your environment for this section:

~$prepare-environment automation/gitops/flux
This will make the following changes to your lab environment:
    

  • Install the AWS Load Balancer controller in the Amazon EKS cluster
    • 

  • Install the EKS managed addon for the EBS CSI driver
    • 

You can view the Terraform that applies these changes here.


Flux keeps Kubernetes clusters in sync with configuration kept under source control like Git repositories, and automates updates to that configuration when there is new code to deploy. It's built using Kubernetes’ API extension server, and can integrate with Prometheus and other core components of the Kubernetes ecosystem. Flux supports multi-tenancy and syncs an arbitrary number of Git repositories.
