DevOps Dictionary

Flux CD is a continuous delivery (CD) tool that automates application deployments to Kubernetes clusters using GitOps principles. Flux CD operates by running controllers within your Kubernetes cluster, which periodically monitor and check for updates in the connected repository sources. When changes are committed, Flux CD adds, replaces, and removes Kubernetes objects to update the deployment in your cluster. This ensures apps deploy continually with minimal risk. It became popular because it simplifies deploying complex applications without the need to manually configure each new release.
