"OpenShift GitOps with Argo CD"
OpenShift GitOps with Argo CD is your definitive guide to mastering the convergence of GitOps methodology, Red Hat OpenShift, and the powerful automation capabilities of Argo CD. This comprehensive resource brings you from foundational principles—such as declarative desired state management, immutable infrastructure, and the core architectural tenets of OpenShift—to advanced topics including multi-tenancy, integrated networking, operator frameworks, and enterprise-grade access control. Through detailed explorations and actionable insights, you'll learn to establish robust, secure, and scalable environments for modern Kubernetes operations.
Delving deeply into Argo CD fundamentals, the book examines automation workflows, application CRs, health management, and self-healing strategies, all essential for orchestrating continuous delivery in today's dynamic enterprise settings. Readers are guided through the nuances of deploying and operating Argo CD on OpenShift, including installation via OpenShift GitOps Operator, enforcing least-privilege security, integrating with OpenShift Pipelines, managing custom resources, and safe upgrade practices. Special attention is given to multi-tenant deployments and the effective handling of sensitive data and secrets for real-world production needs.
For those scaling operations beyond the basics, the book covers advanced application lifecycle management, secure policy enforcement with OPA and Gatekeeper, cloud-native observability using Prometheus and EFK/ELK, enterprise-scale multi-cluster management, and proven approaches for cost and performance optimization. You'll also explore emerging paradigms, from progressive delivery and service mesh integrations to the evolving standards shaping the GitOps ecosystem. OpenShift GitOps with Argo CD equips both engineers and architects with the critical knowledge and best practices required to deliver secure, resilient, and continuous software innovation across Kubernetes platforms.
