GitOps Days 2022 - Day 1 (June 8)
Reconcile Terraform Resources the GitOps Way

Ensure what you’ve defined in Terraform is what’s always running and available. Flux continuously looks for changes and reconciles with the desired state. Take advantage of all the benefits of GitOps: streamlined and secure deployments, quicker time to market, and more time to concentrate on app development!

Pinky & Roberth will provide an in-depth look at the new Flux Terraform Controller, which enables Terraform deployments to be done the GitOps Way. They’ll end with a demo of a common use case implementation.
