The command will take a while to run and it’s a good idea to scan the output. You will note a similar bit of information in the log like this one:
[ℹ] Flux will only operate properly once it has write-access to the Git repository ... [ℹ] please configure git@github.com:YOURUSER/eks-quickstart-app-dev.git so that the following Flux SSH public key has write access to it ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQC8msUDG9tEEWHKKJw1o8BpwfMkCvCepeUSMa9iTVK6Bmxeu2pA/ivBS8Qgx/Lg8Jnu4Gk2RbXYMt3KL3/lcIezLwqipGmVvLgBLvUccbBpeUpWt+SlW2LMwcMOnhF3n86VOYjaRPggoPtWfLhFIfnkvKOFLHPRYS3nqyYspFeCGUmOzQim+JAWokf4oGOOX4SNzRKjusboh93oy8fvWk8SrtSwLBWXOKu+kKXC0ecZJK7G0jW91qb40QvB+VeSAbfk8LJZcXGWWvWa3W0/woKzGNWBPZz+pGuflUjVwQG5GoOq5VVWu71gmXoXBS3bUNqlu6nDobd2LlqiXNViaszX
Copy the lines starting with ssh-rsa and give it read/write access to your repository. For example, in GitHub, by adding it as a deploy key. There you can easily do this in the Settings > Deploy keys > Add deploy key. Just make sure you check Allow write access as well.
The next time Flux syncs from Git, it will start updating the cluster and actively deploying.
If you run git pull next, you will see that eksctl has committed them to your config repository already.
In our case we are going to see these new arrivals (flux and helm operator) running in the cluster:
$ kubectl get pods --all-namespaces NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE flux flux-56b5664cdd-nfzx2 1/1 Running 0 11m flux flux-helm-operator-6bc7c85bb5-l2nzn 1/1 Running 0 11m flux memcached-958f745c-dqllc 1/1 Running 0 11m kube-system aws-node-l49ct 1/1 Running 0 14m kube-system coredns-7d7755744b-4jkp6 1/1 Running 0 21m kube-system coredns-7d7755744b-ls5d9 1/1 Running 0 21m kube-system kube-proxy-wllff 1/1 Running 0 14m
All of the cluster configuration can be easily edited in Git now. Welcome to a fully GitOps’d world!
