k8s and FluxCD

In this intermediate K8S course, we will learn how to manage your k8s cluster state using FluxCD.
This means no more kubectl apply ... and no more helm install ... or any command that modified your cluster state. Everything needs to be done the GitOps way, using FluxCD, with files that are stored in a Git repository.

Prerequisites

We assume you have basic experience with K8S and that you have a cluster ready for this course and a kubectl command that communicates with that cluster. We recommend using a Managed K8S cluster from a cloud provider since some of our lesson we will examine the interaction between cluster resources and our cloud provider.
The cluster we will use in this course is a GKE cluster from google GCP, but you can use any other cloud provider.
When running kubectl version make sure that the Server version is 1.26 or higher.
