We’re retiring Cluster Configuration with Flux v1 on 24 May 2025 – transition to GitOps extension for Kubernetes to move to Flux v2
Fecha de publicación: 17 marzo, 2023
On 24 May 2025, we’ll retire Cluster Configuration Service that uses Flux v1. Please migrate to GitOps Extension to deploy Flux v2 configuration before that date.
Microsoft managed GitOps extension is built on Flux v2 open-source components. This extension is available to both Arc enabled Kubernetes clusters and Azure Kubernetes Clusters. The service can be configured directly per-cluster, or at-scale orchestrated by Azure Policy.
Key benefits of using GitOps extension with Flux v2
Flux v1 is a monolithic do-it-all operator; Flux v2 separates the functionalities into specialized controllers, collectively called the GitOps Toolkit. The toolkit contains the following core components: Source Controller, Kustomize Controller, Helm Controller and Notification Controller.
Supports synchronization with multiple source repositories.
Supports multi-tenancy, like applying each source repository with its own set of permissions
Operational insight through health checks, events and alerts
Supports Git branches, pinning on commits and tags, follow SemVer tag ranges
Credentials config per GitRepository resource: SSH private key, HTTP/S username/password/token, OpenPGP public keys
Beginning 1 May 2023, you’ll no longer be able to create Flux v1 based Cluster Configuration resources. All resources created before May 2023 will be supported through 24 May 2025. During this period, there will not be any new feature updates to Cluster Configuration service. The open-source project of Flux v1 was moved to the public archive on 1 November 2022.
