Flux
The GitOps family of projects.
Overview
Flux is a tool that automatically ensures that the state of a cluster matches the config in git. It uses an operator in the cluster to trigger deployments inside Kubernetes, which means you don't need a separate CD tool. It's a CNCF incubating project and provides a toolkit for building GitOps pipelines.
