ArgoCD – GitOps for Kubernetes

Module 1: GitOps Principles and ArgoCD Overview

• GitOps philosophy: Git as the single source of truth for infrastructure
• ArgoCD overview: declarative GitOps continuous delivery for Kubernetes
• ArgoCD architecture: API server, repo server, application controller, and Dex
• Installing ArgoCD on Kubernetes and accessing the ArgoCD UI and CLI

Module 2: ArgoCD Applications and Projects

• Application CRD: source, destination, and sync policy configuration
• Deploying applications from Git repositories with ArgoCD
• ArgoCD projects: access control and resource restrictions
• Application of applications pattern for managing multiple apps

Module 3: Sync Policies and Strategies

• Manual vs automatic sync: when to use each approach
• Self-healing: automatic revert of manual cluster changes
• Sync options: prune, replace, and force sync configuration
• Sync waves and hooks: ordering resource deployment

Module 4: ArgoCD with Helm and Kustomize

• Deploying Helm charts with ArgoCD: values override configuration
• Kustomize overlays: managing environment-specific configuration
• Combining Helm and Kustomize for advanced deployments
• ArgoCD Image Updater for automated image tag updates

Module 5: ArgoCD Rollouts – Progressive Delivery

• Argo Rollouts overview: canary and blue-green deployment strategies
• Canary rollout: weight-based traffic shifting and analysis
• Blue-green rollout: active and preview service switching
• Analysis templates: automated rollout promotion and abort criteria

Module 6: Multi-Cluster and Multi-Tenant ArgoCD

• Registering external clusters in ArgoCD
• Multi-cluster deployment patterns with ArgoCD ApplicationSets
• ApplicationSet generators: list, cluster, and git directory generators
• RBAC configuration for multi-tenant ArgoCD environments

Module 7: ArgoCD Security and Secret Management

• ArgoCD RBAC: roles, policies, and SSO integration
• Secret management with ArgoCD: Sealed Secrets and External Secrets Operator
• Vault integration for dynamic secret injection
• Audit logs and ArgoCD security best practices

Module 8: Capstone Project and Assessment

• ArgoCD application deployment pipeline for a microservices application
• Argo Rollouts canary deployment with analysis and automated rollback
• ApplicationSet multi-cluster deployment configuration
• Final assessment and course certification

Experience in the Industry Learn from Kubernetes and GitOps engineers who have implemented ArgoCD-based continuous delivery platforms for cloud-native teams managing microservices across multiple Kubernetes clusters.

Backgrounds at the Top Our ArgoCD trainers have delivered GitOps transformation projects at technology companies and platform engineering teams where ArgoCD is the standard for Kubernetes application delivery.

Clear & Effective Teaching ArgoCD applications, sync policies, Helm and Kustomize integration, Argo Rollouts progressive delivery, ApplicationSets, and secret management are explained with real Kubernetes deployment scenarios.

Hands-On Learning Focus Students deploy applications with ArgoCD, configure canary and blue-green rollouts, set up ApplicationSets for multi-cluster delivery, and manage secrets through structured hands-on Kubernetes labs.

Up-to-Date Knowledge Trainers keep content current with the latest ArgoCD releases, Argo Rollouts updates, ArgoCD Autopilot, and evolving GitOps platform engineering best practices.
