High-Level Overview

1. Bootstrapping: The first step is bootstrapping. This involves FluxCD creating a GitHub repository on your GitHub account. By default, the repository is named flux-config. Additionally, we’ll include the link to our Kubernetes Manifest file repository in one of the YAML files within the flux-config repository.

2. Monitoring: Once the Kubernetes Manifest file repository link is added to the YAML file, FluxCD continuously monitors for any changes.

3. Updating Manifest Files: Suppose a DevOps Engineer makes changes to the Kubernetes Manifest file repository.

4. Alerting: FluxCD, As flux-config repository keeping an eye on the given repository link. So, it’s get notification about the new changes in the given repository link

5. Deploying Updated Manifest Files: FluxCD then proceeds to deploy the new changes to your AWS Elastic Kubernetes Cluster.
