Add 0.3.0 to 0.4.0 migration utility (#186)
* Add temp migrate utility

* Fix errors, separate out migrate for now

* Update script with suggestions from @jessesuen

* Check for localhost, server address now; print with log, not fmt

* Add more log lines, standardize output, fix args

* Improve feedback, thanks @alexmt

* Rename migration script, thanks @jessesuen

* Don't run UpdateSpec unless a change has occurred

* Move migrate => hack/migrate, thanks @jessesuen

Argo CD - GitOps Continuous Delivery for Kubernetes

What is Argo CD?

Argo CD is a declarative, continuous delivery service based on ksonnet for Kubernetes.

Why Argo CD?

Application definitions, configurations, and environments should be declarative and version controlled. Application deployment and lifecycle management should be automated, auditable, and easy to understand.

Getting Started

Follow our getting started guide.

How it works

Argo CD uses git repositories as the source of truth for defining the desired application state as well as the target deployment environments. Kubernetes manifests are specified as ksonnet applications. Argo CD automates the deployment of the desired application states in the specified target environments.

Argo CD Architecture

Application deployments can track updates to branches, tags, or pinned to a specific version of manifests at a git commit. See tracking strategies for additional details about the different tracking strategies available.

Argo CD is implemented as a kubernetes controller which continuously monitors running applications and compares the current, live state against the desired target state (as specified in the git repo). A deployed application whose live state deviates from the target state is considered out-of-sync. Argo CD reports & visualizes the differences as well as providing facilities to automatically or manually sync the live state back to the desired target state. Any modifications made to the desired target state in the git repo can be automatically applied and reflected in the specified target environments.

For additional details, see architecture overview.

Features

  • Automated deployment of applications to specified target environments
  • Continuous monitoring of deployed applications
  • Automated or manual syncing of applications to its target state
  • Web and CLI based visualization of applications and differences between live vs. target state
  • Rollback/Roll-anywhere to any application state committed in the git repository
  • SSO Integration (OIDC, LDAP, SAML 2.0, GitLab, Microsoft, LinkedIn)
  • Webhook Integration (GitHub, BitBucket, GitLab)

What is ksonnet?

  • Jsonnet, the basis for ksonnet, is a domain specific configuration language, which provides extreme flexibility for composing and manipulating JSON/YAML specifications.
  • Ksonnet goes one step further by applying Jsonnet principles to Kubernetes manifests. It provides an opinionated file & directory structure to organize applications into reusable components, parameters, and environments. Environments can be hierarchical, which promotes both re-use and granular customization of application and environment specifications.

Why ksonnet?

Application configuration management is a hard problem and grows rapidly in complexity as you deploy more applications, against more and more environments. Current templating systems, such as Jinja, and Golang templating, are unnatural ways to maintain kubernetes manifests, and are not well suited to capture subtle configuration differences between environments. Its ability to compose and re-use application and environment configurations is also very limited.

Imagine we have a single guestbook application deployed in following environments:

Environment K8s Version Application Image DB Connection String Environment Vars Sidecars
minikube 1.10.0 jesse/guestbook:latest sql://locahost/db DEBUG=true
dev 1.9.0 app/guestbook:latest sql://dev-test/db DEBUG=true
staging 1.8.0 app/guestbook:e3c0263 sql://staging/db istio,dnsmasq
us-west-1 1.8.0 app/guestbook:abc1234 sql://prod/db FOO_FEATURE=true istio,dnsmasq
us-west-2 1.8.0 app/guestbook:abc1234 sql://prod/db istio,dnsmasq
us-east-1 1.9.0 app/guestbook:abc1234 sql://prod/db BAR_FEATURE=true istio,dnsmasq

Ksonnet:

  • Enables composition and re-use of common YAML specifications
  • Allows overrides, additions, and subtractions of YAML sub-components specific to each environment
  • Guarantees proper generation of K8s manifests suitable for the corresponding Kubernetes API version
  • Provides kubernetes-specific jsonnet libraries to enable concise definition of kubernetes manifests

Development Status

  • Argo CD is in early development

Roadmap

  • PreSync, PostSync, OutOfSync hooks
  • Customized application actions as Argo workflows
  • Blue/Green & canary upgrades
