Few tools which integrate nicely with Argo
- helm (also creating Argo application resources as helm charts gives some benefits)
- renovate (like watchtower for docker but this one watches your repo and auto commits updates to docker image/helm chart versions)
- reloader (for when you apply new version of configmap and need your app to restart)
I have been running Argo in production for over 2 years now, even for self hosted k3s kubernetes it is IMO the best way to deploy your apps.

Another Great video Christian. You always do an excellent job covering the issues one may encounter on these builds!

[ArielS]

Great, big thanks! Yesterday I was thinking in to deploy ArgoCD into my home lab. :D

[angelosnm]

Excellent video! A really intersting topic regarding ArgoCD is Helm charts deployments instead of using simple manifests files!

[titusmacharia]

probably the fastest and best way to learn argo i've seen online.
Christian you rockstar!!

[alanscelza]

Absolutely incredible video!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

I'm kinda new workings as a devops, and this kind of material is priceless

[TheOnlyEpsilonAlpha]

Very handy tool! Will take a look at it

[mav]

great video, this one got me subbed @5min

[alesiobita]

You made it looks easier! Excellent work, I’ve learned a lot from you! I also added argo image updater with strategy as rolling-update to have the CD on fire :) i would be interest for rollback (restore) procedures, if any release doesn’t work and to go back to the previous release.
Thanks again :)

I work as DevOps and I was curious about this technology since a long time. Your video just gave me a great idea for implementation on my company! Nice explanation, simple and fast!
Many thanks 🙏
Keep going!

Hey.. Christian... Do you have some experience using jsonnet? ( data templating language) in kubernetes... If yes Can do a video about it..? I heard it could be a good alternativ to kustomize or helm

[bjrnhjjakobsen]

Nice “speed” in this episode - any faster and you loose me as I get annoyed 😂 your content is very well done and it deserves the right pitch - please

[RaviSharma-vwpy]

wow informative contents Christian ! Thanks ! Kindly also create one more video related Argo workflow to build docker image & push to dockerhub using kaniko on the same way like SSL, traefik & ingress/ ingressroute as you did this one! Thanks!

[kamilgregorczyk]

is it possible to store deployment templates on argo side so every app uses the same way for deploy ?

[DexDeadly]

Do you happen to be doing anything with Helm Secrets and ArgoCD? If so have you done a video on it? Love the videos!

[shriker]

Nice overview. Did you tried the different views? (You can switch dem on the top-right corner)

[AndrewBlakeOxford]

I use gitlab running on docker to do this type of thing - Never used ArgoCD before but I'll check it out

[peterthverdokhleb]

Chris, what theme are you using in powershell ?
Like ofc

[Lars-jupw]

Does anyone happen to know what color scheme vscode is running?
ArgoCD and datree community are both about to be deployed in my home cluster because of this video. Thanks!
