SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Manual Kubernetes deployments with kubectl are error-prone, lack audit trails, and cause configuration drift between environments. This Skill sets up declarative, pull-based continuous delivery where Git serves as the single source of truth for all cluster state. ## Core Features & Use Cases - ArgoCD and Flux Setup: Install and configure either GitOps operator with Applications, ApplicationSets, GitRepositories, and Kustomizations, including automated sync, prune, and self-heal policies. - Environment Promotion and Multi-Cluster: Structure Kustomize base/overlay repositories for dev, staging, and prod, promote image tags between environments, and manage multiple clusters via ApplicationSets or per-cluster Flux bootstraps. - Progressive Delivery and Secrets: Configure canary and blue-green rollouts with Argo Rollouts or Flagger, and integrate Sealed Secrets, SOPS, or External Secrets Operator for Git-safe secret management. - Use Case: A platform team needs to deploy a microservice to dev, staging, and production clusters with automated drift detection. Use this Skill to bootstrap Flux, create Kustomize overlays per environment, and wire a CI workflow that updates image tags in Git. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to set up a GitOps pipeline for your Kubernetes app using ArgoCD with Kustomize overlays for dev and prod environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about implementing-gitops

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up GitOps for Kubernetes deployments?▼

Install ArgoCD with kubectl apply of the stable manifests, or bootstrap Flux with flux bootstrap github pointing at your fleet repository. Then define an Application or Kustomization that watches a Git path and syncs it to your cluster automatically.

ArgoCD vs Flux: which GitOps tool should I choose?▼

Choose ArgoCD for a visual web UI, built-in RBAC, and easier onboarding; choose Flux for CLI/API-first workflows, lower resource usage, and modular controllers. Some teams run Flux for infrastructure and ArgoCD for applications.

How do I manage secrets in a GitOps repository?▼

Use Sealed Secrets to encrypt secrets safe for Git commits, SOPS with age or KMS to encrypt whole files, or External Secrets Operator to reference values in Vault. Never commit plaintext secrets to the GitOps repository.

How do I promote deployments from dev to production with GitOps?▼

Structure manifests as a Kustomize base with overlays per environment, then update the image tag in the target overlay and commit. The GitOps operator detects the Git change and reconciles the cluster automatically.

Why is my ArgoCD application stuck OutOfSync?▼

Check Git repository accessibility, validate manifests with kubectl apply --dry-run=server, and review sync logs with argocd app logs. Stuck resources often involve finalizers or invalid YAML in the tracked path.

Can GitOps handle canary or blue-green deployments?▼

Yes. ArgoCD integrates with Argo Rollouts and Flux integrates with Flagger for canary and blue-green strategies. Both support metric-based analysis with Prometheus and automated rollback on failure thresholds.
