GitOps with ArgoCD: Automating Kubernetes Deployments

Modern cloud-native deployment demands speed, consistency, and reliability, yet managing Kubernetes manifests manually often leads to configuration drift and deployment errors. Transitioning to a GitOps workflow solves these challenges by using Git as the single source of truth for your cluster state. This text-based course guides you from Kubernetes deployment basics to configuring fully automated continuous delivery pipelines. You will gain a clear understanding of how to synchronize application states, handle drift detection, and roll back changes safely using ArgoCD. What you'll learn: Understand foundational GitOps principles and ArgoCD architecture; Configure ArgoCD to connect to Git repositories and Kubernetes clusters; Manage application deployments using declarative manifests and sync policies; Detect and resolve configuration drift between Git and active cluster states; Implement basic multi-tenancy and security best practices for access control; Monitor deployment health and analyze sync status through structured logs. The course begins with core terminology and GitOps concepts before guiding you through step-by-step configurations, sync strategies, and real-world troubleshooting scenarios. Designed for system administrators, developers, and aspiring DevOps engineers who have a basic familiarity with Kubernetes and want to automate their deployment workflows.
