Delving deeper – Advanced topics and patterns in Argo CD
In this section, we will explore advanced patterns in Argo CD, specifically the App-of-Apps pattern and ApplicationSets. These patterns are essential for managing complex Kubernetes environments more effectively and enhancing your GitOps practices. They are often discussed in interviews to assess your advanced knowledge of Kubernetes and Argo CD. Understanding and being able to implement these patterns can significantly improve your ability to manage and scale Kubernetes deployments. Let’s dive into how these patterns work, their benefits, and when to use them.
What is the App-of-Apps pattern?
The App-of-Apps pattern solves a common problem: how do you manage your Argo CD applications themselves using GitOps? Simple. You create a single “root” Argo CD application that doesn’t point to your app’s code (like a Deployment manifest). Instead, it points to a Git directory full of...
