Weave GitOps Flux Integrates With Azure
May 27, 2022
Weaveworks
touted a new integration with Microsoft to enable continuous and trusted
delivery for enterprise application teams and continuous control for
operations teams. Weave GitOps Flux v2 is now an extension to Microsoft
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes to
govern and control hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Additionally,
the Weave GitOps extension for Microsoft Visual Studio Code enables
developers to manage and observe application delivery using GitOps
within their familiar IDE.
Azure Arc brings Azure security and cloud-native services to hybrid and
multi-cloud environments. It enables the secure management and
governance of infrastructure and applications on any Kubernetes
platform. Weave GitOps Flux automates the deployment and lifecycle
management of these applications. Cluster operators can use the
integrated GitOps capability in Azure Arc to deploy, observe and control
their clusters and applications.
Weaveworks’ three-year agreement encompasses strategic input,
engineering and customer support services to integrate GitOps into:
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to not only enforce state within the
cluster but also help support security by providing feedback for
proposed state changes.
Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes to easily control and automate workflows to
deploy hybrid cloud workloads while keeping high security standards.
Visual Studio Code extension. Microsoft developers can deploy Kubernetes
workloads using GitOps, update them, and monitor their performance
directly from the IDE.
“Organizations
want the flexibility of hybrid and multi-cloud to enable a combination
of security and cost savings. However, the complexity of multiple
platforms and Kubernetes management can be overwhelming, especially as
organizations attempt to scale,” said Steve George, COO at Weaveworks.
“This integration addresses customers’ need for a consistent way to
handle hybrid and multi-cloud complexities automatically, freeing
software delivery teams to focus on innovation and accelerate trusted
deliveries rather than on maintaining infrastructure. Weave GitOps Flux
is a purpose-built solution to continuous delivery and security across
environments.”
“Weave GitOps Flux, with its secure and easy-to-use application delivery
experience embedded in Microsoft AKS and Azure Arc, enables
organizations to consistently deploy and manage trusted applications in
any infrastructure architecture,” said Jeremy Winter, Vice President,
Cloud Native and Hybrid Solutions at Microsoft. “Application teams use
familiar version control tools to track application deployment and
cluster state, increasing accountability, facilitating fault
investigation, and enabling automation to manage and monitor these
complex setups.” |
