We dive into the challenges faced with Argo CD’s current synchronization strategy. Despite its wide adoption for managing Kubernetes deployments, there are cracks in the system’s design, particularly when it comes to handling sync operations. We’ll explore why Argo CD’s insistence on strong consistency is causing more problems than it solves and discuss how an eventual consistency model could be the game-changer that Argo CD needs to streamline deployment workflows and minimize outages.

What do we need to do to enable everyone to self-serve themselves when infrastructure is concerned? How can we create, operate, and destroy Kubernetes clusters without the need to involve anyone else? How can we customize the experience to fulfill the needs of our users? How can we provide a good user experience through services? How can we ensure that we are following best practices? In this video, we will explore how to create an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) for Infrastructure by combining Argo CD, Crossplane, Port, and GitHub Actions.

Most of us switched to GitOps (Argo CD, Flux, etc.) to manage applications in Kubernetes clusters. Why should we limit ourselves only to those? If GitOps is the way to go, why not use it to, for example, manage GitHub repositories, branches, files, secrets, and other GitHub “stuff”?

This video explores how to do just that with Argo CD and Crossplane.
