Excited to announce that we have launched the enterprise distribution with support services for @fluxcd 🎉 We are now looking for orgs relying on Flux that want to partner with ControlPlane and invest in the project continuity.

Our repos now contain an AGENTS.md file to help AI navigate the codebase. Point your AI Agent to this file and ask it to follow the guidelines and conventions described there. Before opening PRs with AI, please review it and make sure you understand it.

AI is driving detachment from both software and platform engineering. @stefanprodan maps out the levels at FluxCon, from Copilot tab-completion to dark software factories to autonomous cluster remediation:

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, come to my talk 😊

[Stefan Prodan @stefanprodan]

Flux v2.8 is out! This release marks the General Availability of Helm v4 features such as server-side apply and enhanced health checking.

❤️ Big thanks to the Helm maintainers for collaborating with us to ensure a smooth integration with #FluxCD

The insights command is hilarious. Told me it generated 400K lines of code while missing my top language. Actual count: ~110K. Off by nearly 4x 😅

If you want to get a more accurate report with a breakdown by language and project, point Claude Code to this script: https://t.co/EqcOAAhsvz

Disclaimer: The script itself is 100% vibe coded 😆

[Thariq @trq212]

We've added a new command to Claude Code called /insights

When you run it, Claude Code will read your message history from the past month. It'll summarize your projects, how you use Claude Code, and give suggestions on how to improve your workflow.

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: https://t.co/16uNoQwGwT

[Stefan Prodan @stefanprodan]

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.

♥️ Big thanks to the #FluxCD users for the feedback that shaped this UI release.

[Stefan Prodan @stefanprodan]

Last time I developed an app for macOS was years ago in Objective-C. To not spend ages on KSwitch, I went with a spec-driven approach: wrote the features I wanted in markdown and the data models in Swift, then fired off Claude Code and iterated over the dev plans for a few hours.

It took another two days to get the code in a shape that I like, but I'm quite happy with the result. Using AI for tiny specialised tools is such a joy.

Next up: adding a task runner. I have too many SSO profiles across all these clusters and various commands I run constantly. Having them in the menu bar, one click away, would reduce the churn. https://t.co/9oZ8VinUvA

[Stefan Prodan @stefanprodan]

I made a tiny macOS app to help me organise and monitor all the Kubernetes clusters I run #FluxCD tests on. I have lots of these on my laptop, homelab and clouds, so my kubeconfig is always a mess.

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.

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 🎉
