More details

Description
Argo CD is one of the top GitOps continues delivery tools for Kubernetes in Cloud Native ecosystem nowadays.
Argo CDÂ implements GitOps Pull Model where it track any changes in source repos and sync/deploy the changes automatically into the destination clusters.

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.
Git as the source of truth for your applications.
Developer and DevOps engineer will update the Git code only.
It will keep your Kubernetes destination clusters in sync with Git.
we can achieve easy rollback.
More security : Grant access toÂ Kubernetes cluster to ArgoCD only and avoid granting CI systems or humans.
Disaster recovery solution : You easily deploy the same applications to anyÂ Kubernetes cluster.
What this course contains
We will explore all required topics to learn Argo CD for end users.
We will practice and learn by examples.
There will be GitHub repos for all practices written declaratively using Yaml.
There will be Interactive (browser based) practices
Quizzes to test your knowledge by the end of each section.
To get a successful and effective learning, spend more time on practicing, learn by doing.

Enjoy the journey and have fun.
