GitLab + Flux! - Priyanka “Pinky” Ravi, Weaveworks & Viktor Nagy, GitLab

There’s no doubt that there is overlap between users of GitLab and users of Flux already. As it so happens, GitLab has decided to integrate Flux with the GitLab agent for Kubernetes. Since GitLab has made Flux the recommended approach to do GitOps with GitLab, this talk will break down how things will work under the hood, best practices to consider, and what users can expect on the roadmap. The talk will also cover the difference between using Flux vs. the agent for Kubernetes alone, using Flux with GitLab’s UI, and future ways in which users will get a streamlined experience between GitLab and Flux's access management. There are lots of exciting things coming to GitLab with this new integration! This talk will cover uses cases that have existed until today, how the integration improves those needs, and how you can tool for future benefits.
