The GitOps Toolkit source management component

Source controller

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.

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)
