Argo CD

WHAT IS ARGO CD?

Argo CD is an open source tool designed for continuous deployment (CD) of applications on Kubernetes clusters. It enables developers and DevOps teams to automatically deploy and manage applications and configurations in Kubernetes clusters by leveraging the declarativity of Kubernetes resources and Git repositories.

WHAT DO WE USE ARGO CD FOR?

Argo CD is used to automate and simplify the process of deploying and managing applications in Kubernetes clusters. It allows teams to declare applications and configurations in Kubernetes clusters and store them in Git repositories. Argo CD monitors these repositories for changes and ensures that the actual state of the applications in the clusters matches the desired state in the Git repository.

WHY ARGO CD?

Argo CD offers several advantages that make it a popular choice for continuously deploying applications on Kubernetes clusters. Using Git repositories to store configurations enables version control and traceability. Argo CD’s automatic synchronization feature ensures that the applications in the clusters are always up to date and reflect the desired state. Additionally, Argo CD offers an easy-to-use interface and a powerful API that allows developers and DevOps teams to easily manage and monitor applications. By automating deployment processes and adhering to continuous deployment best practices, Argo CD helps increase efficiency and improve reliability of applications in Kubernetes clusters.
