Very good video!

[@tiriyoncontinuum9519]

Woop woop you're back!

[@yusranad]

Great video, there are a lot of GitOps tools there currently I'm using Argocd because have niceful GUI and also easy to monitoring the deployment. Hoping you make some videos regarding security such as neuvector

[@imkonsowa]

Now this is a real content, Thanks for creating such gold content Marcel!

[@satriasahputra741]

Where have you been? hope you doing well, love your videos!

Missed ya!

[@zenobikraweznick]

16:40 Built that docker IMAGE 👍

[@zenobikraweznick]

So cooooool!

[@sonumatrix]

Do you suggest using flux for production critical K8 clusters ?

[@pigrebanto]

great! Is one Flux/Kustomize installation enough to manage all deployments in the cluster across namespaces? Does that require an RBAC 'cluster-admin' role?

[@MarcelDempers]

I can see there are RBAC settings in the flux bootstrap directory once you bootstrap it against a git repo. There are cluster roles

[@devopslp]

Great and compact video. I've learned a lot. But what's next, the app is deployed, how my CD pipeline know about the finished GitOps deployment and go on with further steps?

[@maximilianw9671]

Great video, tz so much! But why do we have flux if we still have to kubectl create our stuff?

[@ybonda]

at last!!!

[@webmakaka]

Привет, товарищ!

[@NaveenKumar-ld3rj]

Thanks for the detailed video., I have few queries and if possible provide me some input which will help 1. What will be the best create and manage multiple environment Manifest file while using Flux 2. How can we execute dry-run (terrafrom-plan) before deploying kubernetes manifest file which will avoid wrongly deploying configuration to environment like Prod

[@xichen2677]

Hi, I used the flux bootstrape command in which I specified the repo URL and other information, then the command automatically created `flux-system` folder in my repo under which it automatically pushed the Flux manifests, the syncing between my repo and the cluster is then working out of the box. So, I wonder in your video why you suggest to have `gitrepository.yaml`? I mean isn't everything needed for syncing are already generated under `flux-system` folder by flux command?

[@heinrichagrippa1259]

Whatever the content, I am here because of the forearm thumbnail.

[@birschapple]

if the CI job should update the image tag in the yaml anyway, what's the use of flux. One more line and it's applied to k8s.

[@MarcelDempers]

With flux, your CI system only needs access to GIT and not to your K8s clusters. You could have distributed platforms in different regions and different dev\staging\uat\prod environments and no need to stitch up your CI system to all these environments. Flux helps here as it syncs environments with GIT

[@birschapple]

@@MarcelDempers I see, thank you for taking the time to respond. In our case the CI is already configured to do everything everywhere so it feels easier to replace the current deployment job with a kubectl apply. But it's our case.

[@IIGrudge]

What does FluxCD have over ArgoCD?

[@MarcelDempers]

I believe Argo has a larger ecosystem and more features since it is a lot older than Flux and more popular too. It has a UI as well which makes it more attractive to people and improves uptake

[@IIGrudge]

@@MarcelDempers Right, I've used ArgoCD and like it. And besides CD, it has RollOuts and Workflows to supplement the CD. Which is why I'm curious to know what FluxCD has that Argo doesn't as I've never used Flux before.

[@powersurge5576]

What sells to me from Flux is you can leverage Helm atomic upgrades with automatic rollback. ArgoCD doesn't have automatic rollback/remediation.
