The Power of Three: Flux, Flagger, & Linkerd
September 28, 2021 @ 10am PT | 1pm ET | 18:00 GMT
----------------------------------------------------
⭐️ ⭐️ This is a cross promotional post from the CloudNative @Scale Meetup Group ⭐️ ⭐️ (https://www.meetup.com/cloudnativescale/events/280502157/)
----------------------------------------------------

Join us for this exciting event where you’ll get an overview and update on CNCF Projects Flux and Flagger (Incubating), and Linkerd (Graduated), then see the power of three when these projects are combined (in a live demo) to offer a robust and automated GitOps experience!

▶️ Flux https://fluxcd.io/ is a collection of tools for keeping Kubernetes clusters in sync with configuration sources (like Git repositories) and automating updates to the configuration when there is new code to deploy. Flux is a CNCF Incubating Project.

▶️ Flagger https://flagger.app/ is a progressive delivery Kubernetes operator and is part of the Flux Family of Projects. Flagger automates the release process for applications running on Kubernetes. It reduces the risk of introducing a new software version in production by gradually shifting traffic to the new version while measuring metrics and running conformance tests.

▶️ Linkerd https://linkerd.io/ is a CNCF graduated service mesh for Kubernetes that focuses on simplicity, speed, and security. It provides runtime debugging, observability, reliability, and security with zero-config, making running services easier and safer.

📍 Date: Tuesday, September 28th @ 10 am PST to 11:25 am PST (1:00 - 2:25 pm EST)
