Argo CD

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool designed specifically for Kubernetes environments. It automates the deployment of applications to specified target environments by ensuring that the actual state of a cluster matches the desired state defined in a Git repository.

Key Features and Benefits

Argo CD offers several advantages:

• GitOps Workflow: It follows the GitOps pattern, using Git repositories as the source of truth for defining the desired application state.

• Automated Synchronization: Argo CD automatically detects and applies changes made to the desired state in the Git repo to the target environments.

• Multi-Cluster Management: It can manage and deploy to multiple Kubernetes clusters, simplifying complex infrastructures.

• Visualization: Provides a web UI for real-time view of application activity and configuration drift detection.

• Rollback Capability: Allows easy rollback to any application configuration committed in the Git repository.

• Security: Supports various SSO integrations and RBAC policies for authorization.

Argo CD is one the Easydeploy App provided by Scaleway. You will find below all the information to deploy it on Scaleway Kubernetes clusters.

What is Easy Deploy?

The Easy Deploy feature on Scaleway simplifies the deployment of containerized applications by allowing users to pull images directly from the Scaleway Container Registry.

This enables instant deployment in Kubernetes Kapsule and Kubernetes Kosmos clusters.
