Is this compatible with Kustomize?

Yes, the skill is designed to work with Kustomize and Helm, providing repository structures that support both manifest management tools.

Does this skill support both ArgoCD and Flux?

Yes, it provides comprehensive implementation guides, manifest structures, and sync policies for both ArgoCD and Flux CD.

Can I use this for progressive delivery?

Absolutely. The skill includes specific patterns and configurations for Canary and Blue-Green deployments using tools like ArgoCD Rollouts.

How does it handle secrets in a GitOps workflow?

It provides configurations for External Secrets Operator and Sealed Secrets, ensuring sensitive data remains secure and is never stored as plain text in Git.

What is the 'App of Apps' pattern?

The App of Apps pattern is a method in ArgoCD where a single 'root' application manages a directory of other application manifests, allowing for easier management of complex cluster states.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates Kubernetes deployments using GitOps principles with ArgoCD and Flux CD for declarative, self-healing infrastructure.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for implementing GitOps workflows within Kubernetes environments. It guides users through the setup of ArgoCD and Flux CD, establishes standardized repository structures, and defines automated synchronization policies. By leveraging OpenGitOps principles, it enables continuous reconciliation between Git repositories and live clusters, supports progressive delivery strategies like Canary and Blue-Green deployments, and integrates secure secret management practices using External Secrets or Sealed Secrets. It is ideal for teams looking to move away from manual 'kubectl' commands toward a fully automated, auditable deployment pipeline.
