Flux CD

Bootstrap and operate Flux CD on Kubernetes. Creates and manages GitOps sources (Git, Helm, OCI, Bucket), configures Kustomizations and HelmReleases, reconciles resources on demand, sets up image automation and alerting, and pushes OCI artifacts.

This skill drives the Flux CLI end to end: bootstrapping Flux onto a cluster, defining GitRepository/HelmRepository/OCIRepository sources, wiring Kustomizations and HelmReleases, forcing reconciliation, enabling automated image updates, and configuring notifications and alerts.

When to use

Use when bootstrapping Flux CD, defining GitOps sources, managing Kustomizations and HelmReleases, setting up image automation, or troubleshooting Flux reconciliation.

Examples
