https://www.linkedin.com/in/chernandez1982/ If you’ve heard of GitOps and its benefits, you may have come across two open source projects in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation: Argo CD and Flux. With GitOps, you increase reliability and velocity, lower downtime, and can enjoy other benefits such as automatic self-healing.

Argo CD can be configured in a “pull” (instance of Argo CD on each cluster) or “push” (one Argo CD instance connecting to many clusters).

A user can install a central “hub” Argo CD instance and connect many clusters to it, without having to install Argo CD in every cluster.

From this set of standards, both Argo CD and Flux projects have stemmed to deliver a choice in tools to GitOps practitioners.
