Flux: Multi-tenancy Deep Dive

Authors:   Philip Laine


Summary

Flux is a pull-based deployment method that simplifies continuous delivery and solves issues with maintaining manifests in Kubernetes clusters. It can be used in a multi-tenancy solution to provide a unified entry point towards Kubernetes and automate changes to manifests.
  • Flux is a continuous delivery tool that doesn't require exposing the cube API server to the public internet.
  • Flux can be used in a multi-tenancy solution to provide a unified entry point towards Kubernetes and automate changes to manifests.
  • Flux simplifies observability of what is being deployed and allows for blue-green deployments of clusters.
  • Flux can be configured using the CLI, Terraform provider, or writing manifests on your own.
  • Flux can be used to onboard new tenants in a Kubernetes cluster.
The speaker shared their experience of implementing Flux in a multi-tenant Kubernetes solution at their company. They explained how Flux solved issues with maintaining manifests and provided a unified entry point towards Kubernetes. They also demonstrated how to onboard a new tenant using Terraform and Flux. Overall, Flux simplified continuous delivery and made it easier to manage Kubernetes clusters.

Abstract

Flux is a tool for keeping Kubernetes clusters in sync with sources of configuration (like Git repositories) and automating updates to the configuration when there is new code to deploy. In this presentation, we will look at how Flux can be used in multi-tenant environments to simplify the day to day work of developers and Kubernetes cluster operators.
