GitOps Workflow
Complete guide to implementing GitOps workflows with ArgoCD and Flux for automated Kubernetes deployments.
Purpose
Implement declarative, Git-based continuous delivery for Kubernetes using ArgoCD or Flux CD, following OpenGitOps principles.
Use this skill when
- Set up GitOps for Kubernetes clusters
- Automate application deployments from Git
- Implement progressive delivery strategies
- Manage multi-cluster deployments
- Configure automated sync policies
- Set up secret management in GitOps
Do not use this skill when
- You need a one-off manual deployment
- You cannot manage cluster access or repo permissions
- You are not deploying to Kubernetes
Instructions
- Define repo layout and desired-state conventions.
- Review an immutable, version-pinned ArgoCD or Flux installation and connect only authorized clusters.
- Configure sync policies, environments, and promotion flow.
- Validate rollbacks and secret handling.
Safety
- Avoid auto-sync to production without approvals.
- Keep secrets out of Git and use sealed or external secret managers.
- Confirm kube context, namespace, affected resources and rollback before writes. Review downloaded manifests inertly and pin the reviewed commit/digest; never apply mutable remote YAML directly. Auto-sync, prune and force can delete/recreate resources. The snippets are separate illustrations, not a command sequence to execute in production.
OpenGitOps Principles
- Declarative - Entire system described declaratively
- Versioned and Immutable - Desired state stored in Git
- Pulled Automatically - Software agents pull desired state
- Continuously Reconciled - Agents reconcile actual vs desired state
ArgoCD Setup
1. Installation
Reference: See references/argocd-setup.md for detailed setup
2. Repository Structure
3. Create Application
The following auto-sync/prune configuration is for an authorized non-production example. For production, omit automated sync until approval and promotion controls are established.
4. App of Apps Pattern
Flux CD Setup
1. Installation
2. Create GitRepository
3. Create Kustomization
Sync Policies
Auto-Sync Configuration
ArgoCD:
Flux:
Reference: See references/sync-policies.md
Progressive Delivery
Canary Deployment with ArgoCD Rollouts
Blue-Green Deployment
Secret Management
External Secrets Operator
Sealed Secrets
Best Practices
- Use separate repos or branches for different environments
- Implement RBAC for Git repositories
- Enable notifications for sync failures
- Use health checks for custom resources
- Implement approval gates for production
- Keep secrets out of Git (use External Secrets)
- Use App of Apps pattern for organization
- Tag releases for easy rollback
- Monitor sync status with alerts
- Test changes in staging first
Troubleshooting
Sync failures:
Out of sync status:
