Disclaimer: The actual course content may vary from the above, depending on the trainer, implementation, duration and constellation of participants.

Whether we call it training, course, workshop or seminar, we want to pick up participants at their point and equip them with the necessary practical knowledge so that they can apply the technology directly after the training and deepen it independently.

Goal:

By the end of this course, participants will gain hands-on experience in deploying and managing applications on Kubernetes using ArgoCD, Kustomize, and Helm. They will be capable of deploying and managing applications on existing ArgoCD infrastructure efficiently.


Form:

The course is well structured and consists of theoretical explanations and practical exercises. You will be accompanied by an experienced trainer who can answer questions related to GitOps principles and ArgoCD.


Target Audience:

This course is aimed at DevOps engineers, sysadmins, and developers who want to incorporate GitOps principles into their work.


Requirements:

Basic understanding in the use of the command line.
Basic understanding of version control with GIT.
Basic understanding of orchestrating applications on Kubernetes.


Preparation:

Every participant will receive a questionnaire and a preparation checklist after registration. We provide a comprehensive laboratory environment for each participant, so that all participants can directly implement their own experiments and even complex scenarios.

More about ArgoCD



ArgoCD is a declarative GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes that automatically synchronizes applications to a desired state defined in Git. It provides a powerful web UI, automatic synchronization, and support for multiple clusters.




History


ArgoCD was developed in 2018 by Jesse Suen and Alexander Matyushentsev at Intuit. The project emerged from the need to create a scalable and secure solution for continuous delivery on Kubernetes that follows GitOps principles.


Development was heavily influenced by GitOps , a concept coined by Weaveworks. Under the leadership of Hong Wang and the Argo team, ArgoCD quickly became a CNCF project and reached incubation status in 2020. Its integration with Kubernetes-native concepts and support for multiple configuration management tools made it a popular choice for GitOps implementations.


Today, ArgoCD is a central component of the Argo Project and is used by companies like BlackRock, Adobe, and Red Hat. It has fundamentally changed how teams deploy applications on Kubernetes and set new standards for continuous delivery in cloud-native environments. The introduction of ApplicationSets and the App-of-Apps pattern has further improved scalability.
