🎉 Benefits of GitOps and Flux!
How GitOps and Flux bring you security, reliability, velocity and more - no more pagers on Saturdays! no more breaches to the cluster that you can't roll back. no more worrying about how you'll fare in the next security audit.
Pinky shares from personal experience why GitOps has been an essential part of achieving a best-in-class delivery and platform team.

🎉 What is GitOps and Flux?
For beginners and advanced users alike, Pinky gives a brief overview of definitions, CNCF-based principles, and Flux's capabilities: multi-tenancy, multi-cluster, (multi-everything!), for apps and infra, and more.

🎉 How Flux delivers these benefits
Pinky covers 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.
