KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe -- The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, today shared that Graduated project FluxCD is receiving significant support from new dedicated companies committed to the ongoing maintenance and development of Flux GitOps tools and providing continuous delivery for applications and platforms. With additional support from CNCF, the project has now successfully transitioned to a stronger and broader community.
Companies affirming their support for Flux among their offerings include Aenix, Aviator, Microsoft Azure, ControlPlane, Edgecell, Fairwinds, Giant Swarm, Gimlet, GitLab, Nearform, Opsmx, Opsworks, OSO, Teracloud, and TNG. Additional long-time Flux adopters who have added themselves to the public list recently include Cisco and German retailer Tchibo alongside new use cases from organizations such as the Sylva project.
GitLab announced its continued support for Flux and working with partners in a recent blog post, noting "We are confident in the future of Flux. Flux is a mature Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project with a large and dedicated user base. We believe that our continued support and integration with Flux serves our users the best." In early 2023, GitLab integrated Flux with its agent for Kubernetes offering as the recommended GitOps solution.
FluxCD was developed at Weaveworks which announced that it would cease commercial operations at the start of February. CNCF has worked with many FluxCD stakeholders so that end users and former customers can access long term sustainable development and support.
