Flux v2 is an open and extensible continuous delivery solution for Kubernetes that keeps clusters in sync with Git repositories and OCI artifacts using the GitOps Toolkit. It is a CNCF graduated project built on Kubernetes API extensions, supporting multi-tenancy, Helm and Kustomize, and automated image updates.

Use cases

• deploy applications to kubernetes with gitops
• keep kubernetes cluster config in sync with git
• automate helm releases on kubernetes
• set up progressive delivery with canary deployments
• automate container image updates to git
• manage kubernetes infrastructure declaratively
• bootstrap gitops on a kubernetes cluster

When to choose

• you want declarative, auditable continuous delivery driven by Git pull requests
• you need multi-tenancy and syncing of many Git repositories or OCI artifacts
• you use Helm, Kustomize, and standard Kubernetes tooling and want pull-based reconciliation
• you want a CNCF graduated, production-proven GitOps solution with strong security practices

When to avoid

• you need a push-based CI/CD pipeline with complex build pipelines rather than GitOps reconciliation
• you are not running Kubernetes
• you prefer a UI-first deployment tool over a declarative, CLI/API-driven workflow
