Operating Argo CD

We will start this chapter by installing Argo CD with Kustomize using high availability (HA) manifests and go through some configuration options that we will perform while following the GitOps approach. We will make changes in the ConfigMap of a live Argo CD installation to see how we can modify different settings of Argo CD in a GitOps manner.

Then, we will look at the different Argo CD components, see what changes were introduced by the HA manifests, and what else we can do to make our installation a highly available one. While a Kubernetes cluster has a multi-control plane and worker nodes, it can still fail. Due to this, we will learn how to prepare for disaster recovery and move our installation from one cluster to another, including all the state.

Finally, we will discover what metrics are being exposed and how we can make the setup notify end users or send a custom hook to a CI/CD system when an application synchronizes successfully or not.

Costea

Liviu Costea started as a developer in the early 2000 and his career path took him to different roles from Developer to Coding Architect and from Team Lead to CTO. In 2012 he transitioned to DevOps, when at a small company, someone had to start working on pipelines and automation because the traditional way wasn't scalable anymore. In 2018 he started with the Platform Team and then he was the Tech Lead in the Release Team at Mambu, where they designed most of the CI/CD pipelines, adopting GitOps practices. They have been live with Argo CD since 2019. More recently he joined Juni, a promising startup, where they are planning the GitOps adoption. For his contributions to OSS projects, including Argo CD, he was named CNCF Ambassador in August 2020.
