FluxCD vs. ArgoCD: The Final Word A definitive look at FluxCD's controller-first design and why its architectural alignment with Kubernetes offers superior security, efficiency, and operational maturity over ArgoCD.

Today, we published @rawkode.dev's first editorial!

ArgoCD's UI is great, but Flux's architecture is inevitable.

Time-based deployments with Flux Operator Update your Kubernetes workloads based on schedules with Flux Operator

Hey all -- this is not happening -- Slack will be comped for CNCF communities in perpetuity.

Cool looking forward to trying it

On the downside, I see how SEO techniques will drastically change once LLMs will dominate web search. Brands will end up paying top dollar to the foundational models to prioritise and skew the conversation to promote their content and it's full circle back to the sad state of Google search.

Markdown has become the lingua franca for LLMs and understandably so given the amount of Javascript we ship these days to render HTML on the client-side.

For most cloud-native projects, this is really great as we already use Markdown for all our docs.

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:

43 today! Still rolling ☀️

I’ve sent you a DM

We stopped in Monopoli, eta 2h to Bari

Driving to Bari from here, we’ll stay there for 2 days then back home.

Caffè Leccese is really good!

AI-Assisted GitOps with Flux Operator MCP Server Bridging the gap between AI assistants and GitOps pipelines

We've released the MCP Server for #FluxCD 🚀🚀🚀
fluxcd.io/blog/2025/05...

Coffee time with my girls

In the future, I can see how Flux users could instruct Claude or any other AI to perform staged #GitOps rollouts/rollbacks across #Kubernetes clusters with natural language. For this, the Flux Operator MCP Server would need to expose operations for OCI artifacts.

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).

With go-yaml/yaml being archived, all we need now is another high severity vuln like CVE-2022-28948 and the whole CNCF landscape will implode 🔥

If you want to test your controllers against Kubernetes 1.33, here are the KinD images we're using for #FluxCD e2e:

- "ghcr.io/fluxcd/kindest/node:v1.33.0-amd64"
- "ghcr.io/fluxcd/kindest/node:v1.33.0-arm64"

The Go team is working on an official MCP SDK using the new jsonrpc2 package. Compared to other implementations this SDK looks great! type-safe args, generics and no codegen needed 🎉 #golang github.com/golang/tools...

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 🤯
