<h1 id="gitops-using-fluxcd-v2">GitOps using FluxCD (v2)</h1>
<p>FluxCD is a GitOps operator for Kubernetes. It synchronizes the status of the cluster from manifests allocated in
different repositories (Git or Helm). This approach fits perfectly with External Secrets on clusters which are dynamically
created, to get credentials with no manual intervention from the beginning.</p>
<h2 id="advantages">Advantages</h2>
<p>This approach has several advantages as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Homogenize environments</strong> allowing developers to use the same toolset in Kind in the same way they do in the cloud
  provider distributions such as EKS or GKE. This accelerates the development</li>
<li><strong>Reduce security risks</strong>, because credentials can be easily obtained, so temptation to store them locally is reduced.</li>
<li><strong>Application compatibility increase</strong>: Applications are deployed in different ways, and sometimes they need to share
  credentials. This can be done using External Secrets as a wire for them at real time.</li>
<li><strong>Automation by default</strong> oh, come on!</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="the-approach">The approach</h2>
<p>FluxCD is composed by several controllers dedicated to manage different custom resources. The most important
ones are <strong>Kustomization</strong> (to clarify, Flux one, not Kubernetes' one) and <strong>HelmRelease</strong> to deploy using the approaches
of the same names.</p>
<p>External Secrets can be deployed using Helm <a href="../guides-getting-started/">as explained here</a>. The deployment includes the
CRDs if enabled on the <code>values.yaml</code>, but after this, you need to deploy some <code>SecretStore</code> to start
getting credentials from your secrets manager with External Secrets.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The idea of this guide is to deploy the whole stack, using flux, needed by developers not to worry about the credentials,
but only about the application and its code.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="the-problem">The problem</h2>
<p>This can sound easy, but External Secrets is deployed using Helm, which is managed by the HelmController,
and your custom resources, for example a <code>ClusterSecretStore</code> and the related <code>Secret</code>, are often deployed using a
<code>kustomization.yaml</code>, which is deployed by the KustomizeController.</p>
<p>Both controllers manage the resources independently, at different moments, with no possibility to wait each other.
This means that we have a wonderful race condition where sometimes the CRs (<code>SecretStore</code>,<code>ClusterSecretStore</code>...) tries
to be deployed before than the CRDs needed to recognize them.</p>
<h2 id="the-solution">The solution</h2>
<p>Let's see the conditions to start working on a solution:</p>
<ul>
<li>The External Secrets operator is deployed with Helm, and admits disabling the CRDs deployment</li>
<li>The race condition only affects the deployment of <code>CustomResourceDefinition</code> and the CRs needed later</li>
<li>CRDs can be deployed directly from the Git repository of the project using a Flux <code>Kustomization</code></li>
<li>Required CRs can be deployed using a Flux <code>Kustomization</code> too, allowing dependency between CRDs and CRs</li>
<li>All previous manifests can be applied with a Kubernetes <code>kustomization</code></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="create-the-main-kustomization">Create the main kustomization</h2>
<p>To have a better view of things needed later, the first manifest to be created is the <code>kustomization.yaml</code></p>
