SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of managing progressive delivery pipelines, ensuring that new software versions are deployed reliably and efficiently across different environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Freight Management: Track and manage artifact collections (container images, git commits) as they move through deployment stages.
  • Stage Promotion: Automate or manually trigger the promotion of freights between defined stages (e.g., local, staging, production).
  • Warehouse Monitoring: Automatically detect new artifact versions from sources like ECR and create corresponding freights.
  • Use Case: Deploy a new microservice version from development to production by promoting its freight through local, staging, and finally prod stages, with automated checks and manual approvals as needed.

Quick Start

Use the kargo-cli skill to promote the latest freight to the staging stage for the kargo-simplex project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate progressive delivery promotions across staging and production environments?

Progressive delivery promotions are automated by tracking artifact collections as freight and promoting them through defined stages like local, staging, and production with automated checks and manual approvals.

What is freight promotion in a GitOps deployment pipeline?

Freight promotion in a GitOps pipeline tracks artifact collections, such as container images and git commits, moving them through deployment stages while synchronizing with ArgoCD for automated deployments.

How does warehouse monitoring detect new container image versions for CI/CD deployments?

Warehouse monitoring automatically detects new artifact versions from configured sources like ECR and creates corresponding freights to initiate the progressive delivery pipeline.

Do I need Kargo CLI installed to manage stage promotions across local and production environments?

Yes, managing stage promotions requires Kargo CLI installation along with configured access to Kargo server endpoints and artifact sources to execute freight promotions.

Can I use ArgoCD with Kargo for GitOps synchronization during progressive delivery?

Yes, Kargo supports GitOps synchronization with ArgoCD to automate deployments across local, staging, and production environments during the progressive delivery process.
