Martin Hickey (Helm maintainer) and Scott Rigby (Helm and Flux maintainer) present a feature showcase and demos of both Helm and Flux, reasons for the overwhelming community use of Helm for application packaging and deployment on k8s, and how Helm is extended by Flux for teams moving to GitOps.
🔹The GitOps Toolkit – https://fluxcd.io/docs/components/- is the set of APIs and controllers that make up the runtime for Flux. The APIs comprise Kubernetes custom resources, which can be created and updated by a cluster user or another automation tooling.
🔹The Helm Controller –https://fluxcd.io/docs/components/helm/- built on Kubernetes controller runtime and is part of the GitOps Toolkit – allows one to manage Helm chart releases with Kubernetes manifests declaratively.
