# GitOps Workflow Complete guide to implementing GitOps workflows with ArgoCD and Flux for automated Kubernetes deployments. ## Purpose Implement declarative, Git-based continuous delivery for Kubernetes using ArgoCD or Flux CD, following OpenGitOps principles. ## Use this skill when - Set up GitOps for Kubernetes clusters - Automate application deployments from Git - Implement progressive delivery strategies - Manage multi-cluster deployments - Configure automated sync policies - Set up secret management in GitOps ## Do not use this skill when - You need a one-off manual deployment - You cannot manage cluster access or repo permissions - You are not deploying to Kubernetes ## Instructions 1. Define repo layout and desired-state conventions. 2. Install ArgoCD or Flux and connect clusters. 3. Configure sync policies, environments, and promotion flow. 4. Validate rollbacks and secret handling. ## Safety - Avoid auto-sync to production without approvals. - Keep secrets out of Git and use sealed or external secret managers. ## OpenGitOps Principles 1. **Declarative** - Entire system described declaratively 2. **Versioned and Immutable** - Desired state stored in Git 3. **Pulled Automatically** - Software agents pull desired state 4. **Continuously Reconciled** - Agents reconcile actual vs desired state ## ArgoCD Setup ### 1. Installation ```bash # Create namespace kubectl create namespace argocd # Install ArgoCD kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubuserco...
