What is it?
Argo CD is a continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes that follows the GitOps model. Application definitions, configurations and environments are kept in version control, and Argo CD keeps the live cluster state matching what is declared there.
It supports multiple configuration formats, including plain manifests, Helm, Kustomize and Jsonnet, so teams can keep their existing tooling. Deployment and lifecycle actions are automated and their history can be audited through Git.
Argo CD ships with a web UI and a CLI, and it is commonly deployed as a Helm chart. The project is part of the Argo ecosystem under the CNCF.
