Can I use this for canary deployments?

Yes, the skill includes specific configurations for ArgoCD Rollouts to manage weighted traffic shifting and automated analysis for canary releases.

How does this handle secrets in Git?

It provides implementation patterns for External Secrets Operator and Sealed Secrets to ensure sensitive data is never stored in plain text in your repository.

What are the core principles of GitOps covered here?

The skill follows the OpenGitOps principles: systems must be declarative, versioned/immutable, pulled automatically, and continuously reconciled.

What is the App of Apps pattern?

It is a design pattern where a single ArgoCD application manages a collection of other applications, allowing for recursive, scalable management of complex environments.

Does this skill support both ArgoCD and Flux?

Yes, it provides detailed setup, configuration guides, and manifest examples for both leading GitOps tools.
