   ArgoCD: A Practical Guide to GitOps on Kubernetes — SitePoint

   ArgoCD is a declarative GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes that uses Git repositories as the single source of truth for application deployments. Unlike traditional push-based CI/CD systems, ArgoCD runs inside the cluster and pulls changes from Git, making it more secure by not exposing cluster credentials. The tool consists of three main components: API Server, Repository Server, and Application Controller, which work together to monitor applications and maintain desired state. Major enterprises like LoveHolidays and CVTE have successfully adopted ArgoCD to handle massive-scale deployments, with LoveHolidays managing over 1500 production deployments monthly. The guide includes a practical demonstration showing how to set up ArgoCD on a minikube cluster and configure automatic syncing of application changes from Git repositories.
