SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Managing Kubernetes deployments manually leads to configuration drift, inconsistent environments, and error-prone releases. This Skill guides you through implementing GitOps practices so your cluster state is declaratively defined in Git and continuously reconciled by ArgoCD or Flux. ## Core Features & Use Cases - ArgoCD and Flux Setup: Step-by-step installation, repository bootstrapping, and Application/Kustomization resource definitions for both major GitOps controllers. - Sync Policies & Progressive Delivery: Configure automated sync with prune and self-heal, sync windows, retry policies, and canary or blue-green deployments with ArgoCD Rollouts. - Secret Management: Integrate External Secrets Operator or Sealed Secrets to keep sensitive data out of Git repositories. - Use Case: You need to automate deployments across staging and production clusters. Use this Skill to bootstrap Flux, define GitRepository and Kustomization resources per environment, and enable automated reconciliation with approval gates for production. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to set up an ArgoCD Application manifest for my app with automated sync, prune, and self-heal enabled.

Frequently Asked Questions about gitops-workflow

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up GitOps for Kubernetes with ArgoCD?▼

Install ArgoCD into the argocd namespace using the official manifests, then create an Application resource pointing to your Git repository path and target cluster. Enable automated syncPolicy with prune and selfHeal for continuous reconciliation.

ArgoCD vs Flux CD for GitOps deployments?▼

ArgoCD provides a web UI, RBAC, SSO, and App of Apps patterns suited for teams wanting visibility. Flux is CLI-driven, bootstraps via flux bootstrap github, and uses GitRepository plus Kustomization CRDs for a lighter, composable approach.

How do I manage secrets in a GitOps workflow?▼

Use External Secrets Operator to sync secrets from providers like AWS Secrets Manager into Kubernetes, or encrypt secrets with Sealed Secrets via kubeseal before committing them to Git. Never store plaintext secrets in the repository.

Can I do canary deployments with GitOps?▼

Yes, use ArgoCD Rollouts with a canary strategy defining steps like setWeight and pause durations. The Rollout resource replaces the standard Deployment and progressively shifts traffic while GitOps reconciles the desired state.

Why is my ArgoCD application out of sync?▼

Out-of-sync status occurs when cluster state drifts from Git, often due to manual kubectl changes or failed syncs. Run argocd app diff to inspect differences, then argocd app sync with --prune or --force to reconcile.
