I Built a GitOps Pipeline with ArgoCD for Kubernetes

:) ArgoCD: Simplifying Kubernetes Deployments with GitOps

What is ArgoCD and Its Use?
ArgoCD is a GitOps-based continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. It automates deployment by syncing the desired state of applications from a Git repository to your Kubernetes cluster.

Why Is ArgoCD Important?
Automation: Automatically syncs changes from Git to Kubernetes.
Version Control: Git ensures traceable and reversible changes.
Visibility: Real-time sync status on the ArgoCD dashboard.
Collaboration: Teams collaborate easily using Git as the source of truth.
How It Integrates with GitHub Actions and Workflow
GitHub Actions automates the CI process (build, test, package), while ArgoCD handles CD (deploy and sync) to Kubernetes, ensuring a seamless workflow for continuous integration and delivery.

I created a GitOps pipeline with ArgoCD by:

  1. Writing Kubernetes YAML files in VSCode.
  2. Pulling an image from Docker Hub.
  3. Pushing the code to GitHub.
  4. Linking the GitHub repo to ArgoCD, which deployed the application and managed the sync process in the dashboard. This setup automates deployments and ensures that Kubernetes always reflects the desired state from GitHub. hashtag#ArgoCD hashtag#GitOps hashtag#Kubernetes hashtag#Docker hashtag#GitHubActions hashtag#DevOps
