Red Hat sponsored this post. Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift open up a world of possibilities for administrators and operations folk, but getting developers onto such a platform takes time and effort.

Argo CD does more than that, of course, but from a cluster management perspective, it’s the gatekeeper to changes of configuration, forcing those changes to happen on git, where they’ll be recorded and tracked.

Once properly configured and integrated into a proper CI/CD pipeline, Argo CD can become a part of a one-click-deployment operation for developers, or even get out of the way and stay invisible behind the git workflows that developers are already using.

If those same admins want to know when Argo CD redeploys something because a change has been made inside the cluster, it can also give an alert for that.
