# Introduction
|
|
|
|
[Flagger](https://github.com/weaveworks/flagger) is a **Kubernetes** operator that automates the promotion of
|
|
canary deployments using **Istio**, **Linkerd**, **App Mesh**, **NGINX**, **Skipper**, **Contour** or **Gloo** routing for
|
|
traffic shifting and **Prometheus** metrics for canary analysis. The canary analysis can be extended with webhooks for
|
|
running system integration/acceptance tests, load tests, or any other custom validation.
|
|
|
|
Flagger implements a control loop that gradually shifts traffic to the canary while measuring key performance indicators
|
|
like HTTP requests success rate, requests average duration and pods health.
|
|
Based on analysis of the **KPIs** a canary is promoted or aborted, and the analysis result is published to **Slack** or **MS Teams**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flagger can be configured with Kubernetes custom resources and is compatible with any CI/CD solutions made for Kubernetes.
|
|
Since Flagger is declarative and reacts to Kubernetes events,
|
|
it can be used in **GitOps** pipelines together with Flux CD or JenkinsX.
