How to Achieve Actual GitOps with Terraform and Flux

Explore the intricacies of implementing true GitOps practices using Terraform and Flux in this 27-minute conference talk by Priyanka Ravi from Weaveworks. Gain insights into the complexities of GitOps beyond simply storing Infrastructure-as-Code in Git repositories. Learn how to leverage Kubernetes controllers for deployments, ensuring that your Terraform-defined infrastructure always matches the running state. Discover the benefits of using Flux to continuously monitor and reconcile changes with the desired state. Understand how this approach streamlines and secures deployments, accelerates time to market, and allows more focus on application development. Delve into the capabilities of the new Flux Terraform Controller, enabling GitOps-style Terraform deployments. Conclude with a practical demonstration of a common use case implementation, illustrating how to achieve actual GitOps in your infrastructure management workflow.
