Welcome to a GitOps Days Community Special!

🚨❗️ Notifications & Alerts ⚠️
When operating a cluster, different teams may wish to receive notifications about the status of their GitOps pipelines. For example, the on-call team would receive alerts about reconciliation failures in the cluster, while the dev team may wish to be alerted when a new version of an app was deployed and if the deployment is healthy.

🔄 Webhook Receivers 🔁
The GitOps toolkit controllers are by design pull-based. In order to notify the controllers about changes in Git or Helm repositories, you can setup webhooks and trigger a cluster reconciliation every time a source changes. Using webhook receivers, you can build push-based GitOps pipelines that react to external events.

Join Alison Dowdney, Developer Experience Engineer at Weaveworks and CNCF Ambassador, as she walks through how to define a provider, an alert, git commit status, exposing the webhook receiver and defining a git repository and receiver.

🚨 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!
