Flux
The GitOps family of projects.
Overview
Flux is a tool that automatically ensures that the state of your Kubernetes cluster matches the configuration you've supplied in Git. It uses an operator in the cluster to trigger deployments inside Kubernetes, which means you don't need a separate continuous delivery tool. Flux is a CNCF incubating project and is built with the GitOps toolkit, a set of composable APIs and specialized tools for building GitOps on top of Kubernetes.
