Flux in short

🤝
Flux provides GitOps for both apps and infrastructure
Flux and Flagger deploy apps with canaries, feature flags, and A/B rollouts. Flux can also manage any Kubernetes resource. Infrastructure and workload dependency management is built in.
🤖
Just push to Git and Flux does the rest
Flux enables application deployment (CD) and (with the help of Flagger) progressive delivery (PD) through automatic reconciliation. Flux can even push back to Git for you with automated container image updates to Git (image scanning and patching).
🔩
Flux works with your existing tools
Flux works with your Git providers (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, can even use s3-compatible buckets as a source), all major container registries, and all CI workflow providers.
🔒
Flux is designed with security in mind
Pull vs. Push, least amount of privileges, adherence to Kubernetes security policies and tight integration with security tools and best-practices. Read more about our security considerations.
☸️
Flux works with any Kubernetes and all common Kubernetes tooling
Kustomize, Helm, RBAC, and policy-driven validation (OPA, Kyverno, admission controllers) so it simply falls into place.
🤹
Flux does Multi-Tenancy (and “Multi-everything”)
Flux uses true Kubernetes RBAC via impersonation and supports multiple Git repositories. Multi-cluster infrastructure and apps work out of the box with Cluster API: Flux can use one Kubernetes cluster to manage apps in either the same or other clusters, spin up additional clusters themselves, and manage clusters including lifecycle and fleets.
📞
Flux alerts and notifies
Flux provides health assessments, alerting to external systems, and external events handling. Just “git push”, and get notified on Slack and other chat systems.
👍
Users trust Flux
Flux is a CNCF Graduated project and was categorised as "Adopt" on the CNCF CI/CD Tech Radar (alongside Helm).
💖
Flux has a lovely community that is very easy to work with!
We welcome contributors of any kind. The components of Flux are on Kubernetes core controller-runtime, so anyone can contribute and its functionality can be extended very easily.

Adopted by

GitOps at your fingertips

Flux is a collection of tools for keeping Kubernetes clusters in sync with sources of configuration (like Git repositories), and automating updates to configuration when there is new code to deploy.

Declarative

Describe the entire desired state of your system in Git. This includes apps, configuration, dashboards, monitoring, and everything else.

Automated

Use YAML to enforce conformance to the declared system. You don’t need to run kubectl because all changes are synced automatically.

Auditable

Everything is controlled through pull requests. Your Git history provides a sequence of transactions, allowing you to recover state from any snapshot.

Designed for Kubernetes

Declaratively configurable using Custom Resources, state reports in the object’s status and via Kubernetes Events, and integrations with Kubernetes RBAC

Out-of-the-box integrations

Support for e.g. Kustomize, Helm; GitHub, GitLab, Harbor and custom webhooks; notifications to most team communication platforms; and many more.

Extensible

Easily create a continuous delivery solution with only the components you need, or use the GitOps Toolkit to extend Flux.
