Deploy and manage the Kubernetes Connector (konnector-bundle Helm chart) across multiple Kubernetes clusters using a complete GitOps setup. Implement this repository structure to use either ArgoCD or Flux CD as your primary controller.

GitOps controller comparison

  • ArgoCD: Recommended if you want a visual UI for managing deployments, need real-time drift detection, require built-in rollback with history, and prefer a GUI-based workflow.

  • Flux CD: Recommended if you want native Helm release management (helm install), need Helm hooks support, and prefer a pure CLI/GitOps workflow.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

  • A Kubernetes cluster with kubectl configured.

  • The helm CLI installed for pulling charts from OCI registries

  • The flux CLI and/or argocd CLI installed.

  • A Git repository accessible from within the cluster.

  • Access to the konnector-bundle OCI registry.
