Gitops Workflow

Implements GitOps workflows using ArgoCD and Flux to automate Kubernetes deployments from Git repositories. Sets up declarative sync policies, generates application manifests with proper repository structures, and configures progressive delivery strategies like canary and blue-green deployments. Includes secret management with External Secrets Operator and Sealed Secrets to keep sensitive data out of Git. The App of Apps pattern and multi-cluster configurations make it practical for production environments. Works well when you need automated reconciliation between your Git state and cluster reality, though you'll still need to design your branching strategy and approval workflows separately.

GitOps Workflow

Complete guide to implementing GitOps workflows with ArgoCD and Flux for automated Kubernetes deployments.

Purpose

Implement declarative, Git-based continuous delivery for Kubernetes using ArgoCD or Flux CD, following OpenGitOps principles.

When to Use This Skill

Set up GitOps for Kubernetes clusters
Automate application deployments from Git
Implement progressive delivery strategies
Manage multi-cluster deployments
Configure automated sync policies
Set up secret management in GitOps

OpenGitOps Principles

Declarative - Entire system described declaratively
Versioned and Immutable - Desired state stored in Git
Pulled Automatically - Software agents pull desired state
Continuously Reconciled - Agents reconcile actual vs desired state

ArgoCD Setup

1. Installation

# Create namespace
kubectl create namespace argocd

# Install ArgoCD
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml

# Get admin password
kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d
