Git Push, Sit Back: Level up AKS Deployments With Flux V2
summary
Shows how Flux v2 runs as Flux as a cluster extension on AKS and Arc-enabled clusters, with Azure GitOps controllers converting ARM-managed configs into Flux CRs; demonstrates using Azure Policy remediation to install Flux and apply Flux configurations at scale, the live AKS demo moves a precreated cluster from non-compliant to compliant; adds Azure Managed Grafana dashboards via Azure Monitor queries; uses Azure Linux–based controller images, automated upgrades, and Azure OIDC/workload identity to avoid secrets and keep deployments secure.
