Setup

Get Started with Flux & TigerAccess

Follow these steps to secure your Flux GitOps workflows with TigerAccess.

1

Configure Flux Integration

Add the Flux integration to TigerAccess and configure Git repository access for your Flux controllers.

tacctl integrations add flux \
  --git-url=https://github.com/org/flux-config \
  --branch=main \
  --path=./clusters/production \
  --interval=1m
2

Set Up Git Credentials

Configure TigerAccess to provide dynamic Git credentials to Flux source controllers with automatic rotation.

# Create a secret with TigerAccess-managed credentials
kubectl create secret generic flux-git-auth \
  --namespace=flux-system \
  --from-literal=username=${TIGER_GIT_USER} \
  --from-literal=password=${TIGER_GIT_TOKEN}

# Update GitRepository to use TigerAccess credentials
apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1
kind: GitRepository
metadata:
  name: flux-system
  namespace: flux-system
spec:
  interval: 1m
  url: https://github.com/org/flux-config
  ref:
    branch: main
  secretRef:
    name: flux-git-auth
3

Enable SOPS Integration

Configure TigerAccess to manage SOPS decryption keys for secure secrets management in your GitOps workflow.

# Configure SOPS with TigerAccess key management
tacctl secrets add sops-key \
  --name=flux-sops-key \
  --type=age \
  --auto-rotate=true

# Create Flux Kustomization with SOPS
apiVersion: kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1
kind: Kustomization
metadata:
  name: apps
  namespace: flux-system
spec:
  interval: 10m
  path: ./apps/production
  prune: true
  sourceRef:
    kind: GitRepository
    name: flux-system
  decryption:
    provider: sops
    secretRef:
      name: sops-age
4

Configure Access Policies

Define RBAC policies for Flux resources to control who can modify HelmReleases and Kustomizations.

# Create role for Flux operations
tacctl roles add flux-operator \
  --allow="flux:helmrelease:*" \
  --allow="flux:kustomization:*" \
  --allow="flux:gitrepository:list" \
  --deny="flux:*:delete"

# Assign role to team
tacctl users assign alice \
  --role=flux-operator \
  --clusters=production
5

Monitor & Audit

View Flux reconciliation events and audit all GitOps operations through the TigerAccess dashboard.

# View Flux audit logs
tac audit query \
  --resource-type=flux:* \
  --time-range=24h

# Monitor active Flux sessions
tac sessions ls \
  --filter=flux

# Export compliance reports
tacctl reports generate \
  --type=flux-compliance \
  --format=pdf \
  --output=flux-audit-$(date +%Y%m%d).pdf
Use Cases

Real-World GitOps Scenarios

GitOps Platform Security

Secure your entire GitOps platform with centralized access control for Flux controllers, Git repositories, and Kubernetes clusters with comprehensive audit trails.

Multi-Tenant GitOps

Enable multiple teams to manage their own Flux configurations and deployments while maintaining isolation and governance through TigerAccess RBAC.

Compliance & Audit

Track every Flux reconciliation, Kustomization change, and HelmRelease update with detailed audit logs for compliance requirements like SOC 2 and PCI DSS.

Production Deployment Control

Implement approval workflows for production Flux configurations with just-in-time access to HelmReleases and critical Kustomizations.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does TigerAccess integrate with Flux CD?

TigerAccess provides dynamic Git credentials to Flux source controllers, manages SOPS encryption keys for secrets, and implements RBAC for Flux custom resources (HelmRelease, Kustomization, GitRepository). All Flux reconciliation events are audited and can trigger approval workflows for production changes.

Can I use TigerAccess across multiple Flux-managed clusters?

Yes. TigerAccess supports multi-cluster Flux deployments with centralized access control. You can manage Git credentials, SOPS keys, and RBAC policies across all your Kubernetes clusters from a single control plane.

Does TigerAccess require changes to my existing Flux setup?

Minimal changes are required. You primarily need to update your GitRepository resources to use TigerAccess-managed credentials and optionally configure SOPS integration. Your existing Flux controllers, Kustomizations, and HelmReleases continue to work as-is.

How does SOPS integration work with TigerAccess?

TigerAccess acts as a centralized key management system for SOPS. It can automatically rotate age or PGP keys, distribute them to Flux controllers across clusters, and maintain audit trails of all secret decryption operations. This eliminates manual key distribution and improves security.

Can I implement approval workflows for Flux deployments?

Yes. TigerAccess supports approval workflows for GitOps operations. You can require approvals before Flux reconciles changes to production HelmReleases or Kustomizations, with configurable approval chains based on risk levels.

How are Git credentials rotated automatically?

TigerAccess can generate short-lived Git tokens (via GitHub Apps, GitLab tokens, or Bitbucket credentials) and automatically update the Kubernetes secrets used by Flux source controllers. This happens transparently without interrupting reconciliation.
