Source controller

CII Best Practices e2e report license release

The source-controller is a Kubernetes operator, specialised in artifacts acquisition from external sources such as Git, Helm repositories and S3 buckets. The source-controller implements the source.toolkit.fluxcd.io API and is a core component of the GitOps toolkit.

overview

Features:

  • authenticates to sources (SSH, user/password, API token)
  • validates source authenticity (PGP)
  • detects source changes based on update policies (semver)
  • fetches resources on-demand and on-a-schedule
  • packages the fetched resources into a well-known format (tar.gz, yaml)
  • makes the artifacts addressable by their source identifier (sha, version, ts)
  • makes the artifacts available in-cluster to interested 3rd parties
  • notifies interested 3rd parties of source changes and availability (status conditions, events, hooks)
  • reacts to Git push and Helm chart upload events (via notification-controller)
