# Abstract
Whether you're an expert kubectl-er or just dipping your toes in all of the kubernetes and docker things, come check out this innovative approach to managing your kubernetes cluster!

Flux is a tool that monitors your git repo containing kubernetes configuration and deployment templates and a container registry and automatically updates your cluster when changes are made or new images are available and that's just the beginning.

In this hands on demo, we'll spin up a k8s cluster, push some images to docker hub, configure k8s deployments and services, and watch flux bring them all together right before our eyes.
