SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

WorkflowTemplates are the foundation of reusable automation in Argo Workflows. Rather than defining workflows inline or copying YAML between projects, WorkflowTemplates let you create versioned, tested building blocks that can be invoked by events, schedules, or other workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parameter contracts to enforce input/output contracts
  • Error handling with retry strategies and graceful failure
  • Volume patterns for data persistence and secrets
  • RBAC configuration for minimal required permissions

Quick Start

Create a simple WorkflowTemplate with a defined parameter contract and a basic retry strategy, then reference it from a triggering workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create reusable Argo WorkflowTemplates for CI/CD pipelines?▼

Reusable Argo WorkflowTemplates are created by defining parameter contracts, retry strategies, and volume configurations as versioned building blocks, which can then be referenced by multiple triggering workflows in CI/CD pipelines to avoid copying YAML between projects.

What is the best way to handle errors and retries in Argo workflows?▼

Error handling in Argo workflows is managed by configuring retry strategies and graceful failure logic directly within versioned WorkflowTemplates, ensuring that automated event-driven tasks can recover from transient failures consistently across multiple pipelines.

How do I enforce input parameter contracts for Argo WorkflowTemplates?▼

Parameter contracts for Argo WorkflowTemplates are enforced by defining explicit input and output parameters within the template definition, ensuring that any triggering workflow or event provides the required data before execution begins.

Can I configure RBAC permissions for Argo WorkflowTemplates?▼

RBAC configuration for Argo WorkflowTemplates is supported by applying minimal required permissions directly within the template structure, ensuring that automated workflows execute securely with restricted access privileges.

When do I need versioned WorkflowTemplates instead of inline Argo workflows?▼

Versioned WorkflowTemplates are needed when building complex event-driven automation or CI/CD pipelines where workflows are referenced by multiple triggers, requiring tested building blocks rather than inline definitions or copied YAML.

How do I manage data persistence and secrets in Argo workflows?▼

Data persistence and secrets in Argo workflows are managed by defining volume patterns within the WorkflowTemplate, allowing automated tasks to securely access and store data across workflow execution steps.
