Introduction to GitOps & Flux
You may have heard the term GitOps - it has become a bit of a buzzword, but it’s so much more! The benefits of GitOps are real - bringing better security, reliability, velocity and more! And the project that started it all was Flux - a CNCF Incubating project developed and later donated by Weaveworks (the GitOps company who coined the term).

Kingdon Barrett, Open Source Support Engineer at Weaveworks and Flux Maintainer, will give a brief overview of definitions, CNCF-based principles, and Flux's capabilities: multi-tenancy, multi-cluster, (multi-everything!), for apps and infra, and more.
Kingdon will cover a little of Flux's microservices architecture and how the various components deliver this robust, secure, and trusted open source solution. Through the components of the Flux project, users today are enjoying compatibility with Helm, Jenkins, Terraform, Prometheus, and more as well as with cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and more.

GitOps in Microsoft Azure with Flux
To provide Kubernetes admins and app developers with the latest tooling for managing configuration and application deployment, Azure enables GitOps with Flux. In this session Jonathan Innis, Software Engineer II at Microsoft, will live demo how CNCF Flux is enabled in Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes and Azure Kubernetes Services and also give a sneak peek at implementation of Flux.
