Welcome to a GitOps Days Community Edition!

New to GitOps? Join us for this talk that will walk you through first steps with a live demo. The talk will also cover core concepts to get you ramped up with how to think with a GitOps mindset.

Leigh Capili, DX Engineer at Weaveworks, will discuss and demo the Core Concepts of Flux v2 including GitOps, Sources, Reconciliation, Kustomization, and Bootstrap. He will also review how to share these key points with your teams to get them excited about GitOps using Flux. (If there’s enough time, he’ll give us a sneak peak into the latest on Image Automation).

🚨 Note to our Flux community that Flux v2 is in development and Flux v1 is in maintenance mode. These talks and upcoming guides will give you the most up-to-date info and steps to migrate once we reach feature parity and start the migration process. We are dedicated to the smoothest experience possible for our Flux community, so please join us if you'd like early access and to give us feedback for the migration process.

We are really excited by the improvements and want to take this opportunity to show you what Flux 2 is all about, walk you through the guides and get your feedback!
