This repository contains a number of samples to help you configure Continuous Delivery (CD) using GitOps. Argo CD is an opensource tool that has been developed to enable cloud native developers enable declarative GitOps continuous delivery tool with Kubernetes. It fully supports IBM Kubernetes Services and Red Hat OpenShift.
Argo CD follows the GitOps pattern of using Git repositories as the source of truth for defining the desired application state. Kubernetes manifests can be specified in several ways:
- kustomize applications
- helm charts
- Plain directory of YAML/json manifests
- Any custom config management tool configured as a config management plugin
Argo CD automates the deployment of the desired application states in the specified target environments. Application deployments can track updates to branches, tags, or pinned to a specific version of manifests at a Git commit. See tracking strategies for additional details about the different tracking strategies available.
