We are thrilled to announce the release of Flux v2.6.0! In this post, we will highlight some of the new features and improvements included in this release. Highlights Flux v2.6 marks the General Availability (GA) of the Flux Open Container Initiative (OCI) Artifacts features. The OCI artifacts support was first introduced in 2022, and since then we’ve been evolving Flux towards a Gitless GitOps model. In this model, the Flux controllers are fully decoupled from Git, relying solely on contai...| Flux – Blog
In this blog post, we introduce the Flux MCP Server, a new component of the Flux Operator project that connects AI assistants directly to your Kubernetes clusters, enabling seamless interaction through natural language. It serves as a bridge between AI tools and your GitOps pipelines, allowing you to analyze the cluster state, troubleshoot deployment issues, and perform operations using conversational prompts. Bringing AI to GitOps The GitOps movement started with the Flux community back in 2...| Flux – Blog
In this blog post, we will showcase how Flux Operator can be used to bootstrap Kubernetes clusters using the GitHub App authentication method introduced in Flux 2.5.0. Prior to Flux 2.5.0, the GitHub repository authentication methods were based on using a secret that is tied to a GitHub user, be it a personal access token (PAT) or an SSH deploy key. When the user leaves the organization, the GitHub deploy keys are revoked resulting in Flux losing access to all repositories. To restore access,...| Flux – Blog

Here comes the newest blog post in our ecosystem category. One of the key reasons to rewrite Flux was to break up the former monolith solution into separate controllers which provide distinct parts of the functionality. This allows users to pick just the parts they need, and integrators to very easily build on top of Flux’s APIs. Today we have a very active Flux Ecosystem - we very much welcome this to happen and see it as an indicator of success. An introduction to Weave GitOps Today we wo...| Flux – Blog

Pulumi is an “Infrastructure as Code” tool that lets you specify your infrastructure as programs written in JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, .NET languages, or YAML. The Pulumi Kubernetes operator drives Pulumi from Kubernetes, so you can maintain your infrastructure by pushing commits to git and letting automation take it from there. Recently, we added support to the operator for using Flux sources. This is a great addition to the operator, but it’s not the only way Flux and Pulumi can wo...| Flux – Blog

Flux is now a graduated project in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and joining the ranks of Kubernetes, Helm, Prometheus and others in this category.

Started in July 2016, engineers at Weaveworks built the first version of Flux to guarantee predictable deployments internally. This was way before Ku...| Flux – Blog
Cosign integration was one of the most important features we shipped in the Flux v0.35 release. After that, we wrote a blog post which explains how to use the feature with OCIRepository resources which enables fetching OCI artifacts from container registries.

Integrating OCI into Flux was one of the most-requested features of all times. We listened to your feedback and in the past couple of releases, OCI was integrated more deeply into Flux. Here is a brief summary of what landed when: v0.31 (Jun 2022): Support for Helm repositories of type OCI v0.32 (Aug 2022): Kubernetes manifests, Kustomize overlays and Terraform code as OCI artifacts v0.33 (Aug 2022): More configurability of OCI settings v0.34 (Sep 2022): More flexibility when interacting with...| Flux – Blog

Software supply chain attacks are one of the most critical risks threatening today’s software and have begun to collapse like a dark cloud over the software industry. For the Flux family of projects we are taking precautions against these threats. Apart from implementing security features and best practices, it is important to us to educate our users.

Of course it uses Flux under the hood. Getting...| Flux – Blog
This is the first blog post in a series where we want to shine a light on projects in the Flux Ecosystem. This time it’s going to be the Terraform Controller. If you use Terraform, you might think of it as “Infrastructure as Code” and to be separate from the concept of GitOps. Quite often we have seen debates about “Infrastructure as Code vs. GitOps”. The Terraform Controller reconciles these two worlds and lets you take advantage of the benefits of GitOps for existing Terraform res...| Flux – Blog

Ever since the rewrite of Flux as a set of focused controllers, it has become clearer what each of its functions and capabilities are. The aptly named controllers carry in their name what they are responsible for and which data or tooling they interact with, so that is, e.g. source, kustomize, image-automation, notification, helm, etc. If you wanted to string a proof-of-concept for a GitOps tool together, a naïve solution could be to just shell out to various tools like curl, git, kubectl an...| Flux – Blog

Next up in our blog series about Flux Security is how we implemented fuzzing in Flux and its controllers and how that makes things safer for you. Wikipedia explains Fuzzing like so: Fuzzing or fuzz testing is an automated software testing technique that involves providing invalid, unexpected, or random data as inputs to a computer program. The program is then monitored for exceptions such as crashes, failing built-in code assertions, or potential memory leaks. Typically, fuzzers are used to t...| Flux – Blog

The container images along with their signatures are published on GitHub Container Registry and Docker Hub. To verify the authenticity of Flux’s container imag...| Flux – Blog
