GitOps Days EMEA 2020
Day 2 Session 8

Flux v2 Everything that you wanted to know but were afraid to ask (deep dive)
Stefan Prodan
Developer Experience Engineer, Flagger Creator
Weaveworks

We are excited to share the evolution of Flux v1 from a tool that we created for our own needs, its being the foundation for our coining the term GitOps, to its current evolution as Flux v2 – a more ecosystem-facing tool that helps you get the most powerful GitOps, has better Developer Experience for troubleshooting, and leverages a toolkit that you can also build upon for your needs.

In this talk, Stefan will introduce the next major version of Flux, explain why Flux was reshaped into a composable continuous delivery solution that goes beyond Git sync to accommodate multi-tenancy, infrastructure dependencies and cluster-api fleet management.
