In this episode of the Cloud Native Now Podcast, Mike and Sharon deliver a eulogy for Weaveworks, which founder Alexis Richardson announced in a LinkedIn post this week would shut down after it failed to secure necessary funding. Weaveworks was a critical foundation of the GitOps movement and its Flux project provides GitOps for apps and infrastructure. As of 2022, the project boasted more than 1 billion downloads, and it is a graduated project with the CNCF. Why is GitOps so important? What is Flux? And what happens to GitOps and Flux now that Weaveworks is no more? Tune in to find out.
