What is Git?
Git is an open source tool used by software developers for source code management that tracks changes to application source code, enabling development teams to collaborate on branched (forked) application development.
What is GitOps?
GitOps is a declarative framework centered around a Git repository that stretches (extends) development best practices (i.e., version control, Cl/CD) to infrastructure automation and application deployment. With GitOps, you can automate changes to the infrastructure and application deployment via Git source control, making Kubernetes deployments more manageable, with:
Increased agility. Manage updates and new feature releases without knowing the details of containers or Kubernetes.
Frequent deployments. Ensure continuous deployment of new features and updates across Kubernetes clusters.
Reduced downtime. Recover from application failure with reduced downtime by quickly reverting a failed release or application update.
Reliable deployments. Leverage built-in history/audit trail to ensure consistent feature/application deployments.
Enhanced security. Improve security of deployed applications by tracking and verifying authorship.
What is Argo Continuous Delivery (CD)?
Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. It is the best way to deploy and upgrade your applications.
Why Argo CD?
Application definitions, configurations, and environments should be declarative and version controlled. Application deployment and lifecycle management should be automated, auditable, and easy to understand.
How does Argo CD work with Nethopper KAOPS?
There are 4 major actors in an Argo CD system:
DevOps user, who declare the desired state of the app in a GitHub repository
GitHub repo(s), which tells the ArgoCD server about the declarations and
ArgoCD server, which is running in a kubernetes cluster and listens for repo changes, and updates all the Kubernetes clusters accordingly.
Your 'remote' clusters, which the ArgoCD server controls.
