Argo CD

Name: Argo CD
Availability: InStock

Argo CD keeps a cluster matched to Git: an Application names a source and a destination, then sync and health tell you whether they still agree. This course covers self-heal and prune, sync waves, app-of-apps and ApplicationSets, Helm and Kustomize sources, then projects, SSO, and why the control plane itself is a target. Self-heal will revert a kubectl hotfix; that is the point, and a compromised Argo instance can deploy anywhere it is allowed to sync.
