Awesome Argo

🎉 ArgoCon and KubeCon Europe 2023 videos are available!

🔔 Links to recordings for talks from various conferences, such as ArgoCon and KubeCon, are added as soon as they become available!

A curated list of awesome projects and resources related to Argo, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) graduated project.

This list is maintained and sponsored by Akuity, the Enterprise Company for Argo Project.

What is Argo?

Argo consists of a set of open source tools for deploying and running applications and workloads on Kubernetes, including:

Argo Workflows: Kubernetes-native workflow engine supporting DAG and step-based workflows.
Argo CD: Declarative continuous delivery with a fully-loaded UI.
Argo Rollouts: Advanced Kubernetes deployment strategies such as Canary and Blue-Green made easy.
Argo Events: Event based dependency management for Kubernetes.

In addition, argoproj-labs is a separate GitHub org for community contributions related to the Argo ecosystem.

Books

Distributed Machine Learning Patterns teaches you how to take machine learning models from your personal laptop to large distributed clusters. You’ll explore key concepts and patterns behind successful distributed machine learning systems, and learn technologies like TensorFlow, Kubernetes, Kubeflow, and Argo Workflows with real-world scenarios and hands-on projects.
GitOps and Kubernetes teaches you how to use Git and the GitOps methodology to manage a Kubernetes cluster. The book interleaves theory with practice, presenting core Ops concepts alongside easy-to-implement techniques so you can put GitOps into action. Learn to develop pipelines that trace changes, roll back mistakes, and audit container deployment.
