FLUXCD-EDI
Direct Argo CD competitor — modular, lightweight, CLI-first.
Definition
Flux 2 (v2) separates concerns in CRDs: GitRepository / OCIRepository (source), Kustomization / HelmRelease (rendering), Receiver / Alert (notification). Prefers a strict pull-based approach. Often chosen for private EDI platforms where security (no exposed UI) is paramount.
Origin
Created by Weaveworks in 2016 (Flux 1), CNCF v2 redesign in 2021. CNCF graduated in 2023.
Example in context
A GitRepository pointing to https://github.com/acme/edi-config, followed by a Kustomization applying manifests to the edi-prod namespace.
