The command "fluxctl automate" is used to automate the deployment of new versions of container images.
Flux is a Continuous Deployment tool that monitors a Git repository for changes in container image tags, and automatically applies those changes to your Kubernetes cluster. It ensures that the containers running in the cluster are always up-to-date with the latest versions specified in the Git repository.
The "fluxctl automate" command instructs Flux to continuously scan the Git repository for new container image tags and automatically update the deployment manifests in the cluster. This means that whenever a new image tag is pushed to the repository, Flux will automatically update the corresponding deployment in the cluster to use that new image.
By using this command, you can ensure that your Kubernetes cluster is always running the latest versions of container images without any manual intervention.
