I've been experimenting with local AI (oMLX) on a Mac Studio (M2 Max 96GB) for agentic GitOps. My test bench covers repo analysis and live cluster operations through the Flux MCP server.

I run Claude Code autonomously for days across terminals and IDEs with sub-agents fanning out into copilot, kiro, and gemini. I won't trade that for an agent manager, so I built cctop: a live top for CC to tame the session chaos. Check it out: github.com/stefanprodan...

✈️ On my way to #KubeCon! Monday at #FluxCon we'll be launching the official #FluxCD Skills. I'll be taking about ADLC and how we've developed AI Agents specialised in GitOps and Flux security. If you are going to vibe code your Kubernetes infra, you should come to my talk on March 23 at 09AM 😊

Actions map to custom #Kubernetes RBAC verbs giving cluster admins fine-grained control. User actions are tracked in the Flux Operator audit log, and the Web UI shows you which of your teammates has suspended a reconciliation. Docs here: fluxoperator.dev/docs/web-ui/...

We've implemented #GitOps actions in the latest Flux Operator Web UI. You can reconcile, pull latest source, and suspend/resume, with more actions to come. Check it out: fluxoperator.dev/web-ui/ ♥️ Big thanks to the #FluxCD users for the feedback that shaped this UI release.

An early Christmas gift for all #FluxCD users 🎁🎄 Flux Operator 0.37 is here with a brand new Web UI! We've shipped a mobile-friendly web interface that gives you real-time visibility into everything Flux manages on your clusters. Unwrap it here fluxoperator.dev/web-ui/

At #FluxCon Morgan Stanley shared how they run #FluxCD to deploy tens of thousands of apps on 500+ clusters. Awesome to see all the optimizations we’ve built into Flux delivered at this scale 🎉

After trying out various ways of writing a llms.txt for ControlPlane's #FluxCD distribution, I think I finally nailed it. Here is Claude's response after parsing the latest version:

Made good progress with the #FluxCD MCP Server 🚀 It can now do multi-cluster operations: track app versions and config changes across environments, cluster state diffing & Helm release comparison (dev vs stage vs prod).

I'm hacking on a MCP server for troubleshooting Flux Operator and turns out it's actually good at displaying the dependency flow between the various #FluxCD resources in the #GitOps pipeline 🤯

Made the switch from the macOS builtin terminal to Ghostty and I love it 👻 The default config is great, the only thing I had to set was window-save-state=always Check it out ghostty.org
Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration.

In a future release of Flux Operator, you'll be able to define the apply order of resource groups using CEL expressions that can query any object in the cluster, effectively using the in-cluster data for gating the deployment of workloads and infrastructure to remote clusters. #FluxCD #GitOps

I'm really digging the #Kubernetes builtin policy engine that went GA in v1.30. Checkout my guide on how to secure #FluxCD on multi-tenant clusters using validating admission policies written in CEL fluxcd.control-plane.io/guides/flux-...
A ValidatingAdmissionPolicy that restricts Flux access to Git repositories, OCI registries and Helm repositories, based on an allowlist defined in a ConfigMap stored in the flux-system namespace.

Really nice to see that many FluxCD users upgrading to the latest stable version. One week passed since Flux 2.1.0 release and we're over 500K downloads. Working on Flux bootstrap and the self-upgrade feature was worth it 🎉 github.com/orgs/fluxcd/...

Given HashiCorp's decision to relicense its projects from MPL (open source) to BUSL (source available) we are currently investigating how this affects the CNCF Flux project. Please watch this issue if you are a Flux user github.com/fluxcd/flux2/issues/4156

Rewriting a popular project from scratch and migrating thousands of production users was not easy. But we made it, after three years, Flux 2.0 is GA! All this would not have been possible without the awesome Flux community! Thank you so much 🤗 github.com/fluxcd/flux2/releases/ta…
