Planning to deploy Argo CD and support a lot of Kubernetes clusters? In this article, we’ll cover the different deployment strategies and architectures used along with their pros and cons. A Comprehensive Overview of Argo CD / GitOps Architectures – 2023
Argo CD is a declarative continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes developed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Argo CD automates your application deployment by continuously monitoring the live state of your containers and comparing it against the desired state in your Kubernetes manifest files, then pulling changes into your Kubernetes clusters as needed.
Containers are a useful tool for deploying applications because they allow for the packaging of an application’s code, libraries, and dependencies into a single, isolated unit. This makes it easy to deploy and run the application on any computer or server that has the necessary container software installed.
DevOps has become the de facto methodology in software development. With it, software engineers can take operations into their own hands, using techniques such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate infrastructure deployment. However, as the popularity of DevOps has grown, so has the complexity of modern application development. Developers must learn new tools and maintain infrastructure while coding and prioritizing ops tasks alongside feature development.
