Advanced K8S with FluxCD 1: Flux installation

This is the first lesson in the course: Advanced K8S Management with Flux.
Flux is all about managing the state of kubernetes in a declarative way by pushing yaml files to a git repository.
In this lesson which is the first in our flux kubernetes course we will install flux on our k8s cluster.
The full guide and step by step instructions are available at: https://www.academeez.com/courses/kub...

We will install flux cli, open a github repository, create a github fine grained personal access token, and run the flux bootstrap command.

To install the flux cli you can also follow the official documentation at: https://fluxcd.io/flux/installation/#...
