Flux is an open-source tool that can be used to implement a GitOps workflow. It is designed to monitor a Git repository for changes to the desired state of an application and its infrastructure, and to automatically enforce and apply those changes using continuous delivery pipelines.
In a GitOps workflow, the desired state of an application and its infrastructure is defined using declarative configuration files, such as Kubernetes YAML files or Docker Compose files. These configuration files are stored in a Git repository, and changes to them are made using pull requests.
Flux monitors the Git repository for changes to these configuration files, and automatically enforces and applies those changes using continuous delivery pipelines. This ensures that the entire application and infrastructure can be managed and version-controlled using Git, and that changes can be easily audited and rolled back if necessary.
In summary, Flux is a tool that can be used to implement a GitOps workflow, which uses Git as the source of truth for defining and managing the desired state of an application and its infrastructure. Flux helps to automate the process of enforcing and applying changes to this desired state, using continuous delivery pipelines.
