NKE Lab series – Ep5: Build a GitOps CD pipeline using GitHub, NKE and Argo CD

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 20:36:31 +0000

This is the 5th episode of our NKE lab series. In this episode, I will demonstrate how you can easily build a fully-automated GitOps continues delivery (CD) pipeline, by using Github, NKE and Argo CD.

GitOps is a operational framework that takes DevOps best practices (such as version control, Infra-as-Code, CI/CD etc), and applies them to modern and cloud native infrastructure such as Kubernetes-based clusters.

There are two GitOps approaches: Push-based and Pull-based, and you can reach more about each model at here. This post will focus on the Pull-based approach as it provides many benefits such as better version control and governance, more automation and self-service capabilities, and easier for rollback, auditing/compliance suitable for large and stable production environment.
