Course Introduction
Welcome to "Argo CD: Kubernetes Application Management," a five-day course designed to equip professionals with the skills needed to implement declarative GitOps workflows for Kubernetes applications. As organizations increasingly adopt Kubernetes, managing application states and ensuring consistency across environments becomes critical. This course dives deep into Argo CD's architecture, deployment strategies, and best practices for managing complex Kubernetes clusters. You will learn how to synchronize application states with Git repositories, automate rollouts, and monitor deployments effectively.
Through hands-on labs and real-world case studies, you will explore advanced topics such as progressive delivery strategies, canary deployments, and blue-green deployments. You will also learn how to integrate Argo CD with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Helm, ensuring seamless collaboration between development and operations teams. The course emphasizes practical application, enabling you to design scalable, secure, and maintainable GitOps workflows that align with modern DevOps practices.
By the end of this course, you will have the expertise to manage Kubernetes applications using Argo CD, fostering a culture of automation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Whether you are a Kubernetes administrator, DevOps engineer, or cloud architect, this course provides the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in Kubernetes-based projects and drive innovation within your organization.
