Training Agenda

ArgoCD

ArgoCD is a declarative GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. It watches a Git repository as the source of truth and continuously reconciles the cluster state to match — making deployments auditable, reversible, and drift-free. This training covers ArgoCD from installation through production-grade multi-cluster GitOps workflows.

1–2 days On-site, remote, or hybrid Up to 20 participants German or English
What We Cover
Git as the source of truth
Day 1

GitOps Fundamentals & ArgoCD Core

  • GitOps principles: Declarative state, Git as source of truth, continuous reconciliation — the why behind GitOps
  • ArgoCD architecture: Application controller, repo server, API server, Dex — how the components fit together
  • Application CRD: Source, destination, sync policy — defining applications declaratively
  • Sync strategies: Manual, automatic, self-heal, pruning — choosing the right reconciliation behavior
  • App-of-Apps pattern: Managing multiple applications as a tree of ArgoCD Applications
  • Health checks and resource hooks: PreSync, Sync, PostSync hooks for database migrations and ordered deployments
  • ArgoCD CLI and UI walkthrough: Daily workflow with both the argocd CLI and the web dashboard
Day 2

Multi-Cluster, RBAC & Advanced Patterns

  • ApplicationSet: Cluster generator, git generator, list generator — automating multi-cluster application definitions
  • Multi-cluster management: Managing applications across many clusters from a single ArgoCD instance
  • RBAC with SSO: Dex, GitHub, Okta integration — team-based access control in ArgoCD
  • Secrets management: Sealed Secrets, External Secrets Operator, Vault integration — keeping secrets out of Git
  • Notifications: Slack, email, webhook on sync success and failure
  • Progressive delivery with Argo Rollouts: Canary and blue-green deployment strategies beyond standard Deployments
  • ArgoCD in CI/CD pipelines: Promotion workflows — triggering image updates and environment promotions
Learning Outcomes
What your team walks away with

A fully operational GitOps workflow: Git is the source of truth, the cluster matches declaratively, and the team can audit and roll back any deployment.
