Gitops Workflow
Implement GitOps workflows with ArgoCD and Flux for automated, declarative Kubernetes…
An implementation guide for GitOps on Kubernetes using ArgoCD and Flux, where Git is the single source of truth and operators continuously reconcile cluster state to match it. It follows the four OpenGitOps principles and applies declarative desired state, self-healing sync, and progressive delivery (canary and blue-green). Secrets stay out of Git through External Secrets and Sealed Secrets, making leaks structurally impossible.

Nothing changes a cluster except Git. The skill structures the repo as the single source of truth, sets ArgoCD or Flux to revert manual edits automatically, keeps secrets out by construction, and adds canary rollbacks on top.
- Structures the repo as the single source of truth: apps split by environment (production, staging), an infrastructure directory for ingress, cert-manager and monitoring, and an argocd directory holding Application and project definitions.
- Bootstraps the operator: ArgoCD installed into its namespace via manifests, or Flux bootstrapped against the repo with flux bootstrap github pointing at the cluster path.
- Defines Applications declaratively: each Application CRD pins repoURL, targetRevision and path, with syncPolicy automated, prune true and selfHeal true, so anything someone changes by hand with kubectl edit gets reverted to the Git state within minutes.
- Scales management with app-of-apps: one root Application reconciles the whole directory of Application definitions, which also means disaster recovery on a fresh cluster is installing ArgoCD plus applying one root manifest.
- Keeps secrets out of Git structurally: External Secrets Operator pulls from the cloud secret store, or Sealed Secrets encrypts before commit, so a plaintext credential in a PR is impossible by construction.
- Adds progressive delivery and drift watch: Argo Rollouts canary steps with Prometheus-backed analysis and automatic rollback on failed checks, the reconciliation loop polling Git roughly every three minutes, and argocd app diff plus sync as the standard troubleshooting pair.

-
Does this force me to pick ArgoCD over Flux?
No: both operators are covered with their own setup and reconciliation patterns: Application CRD and app-of-apps on the ArgoCD side, GitRepository plus Kustomization on the Flux side.
-
How does rollback actually work in this model?
Git is the single source of truth, so a bad deploy is undone with git revert and the operator reconciles the cluster back to that commit. Manual cluster edits get erased the same way, self-healing sync restores whatever Git declares.
-
Will it manage deployments outside Kubernetes?
No. The guide is built on ArgoCD and Flux, which reconcile Kubernetes clusters; VM-based or serverless deployments fall outside its scope.
