Welcome to the Argo CD Katas repository! This project is designed to help users learn and master Argo CD through practical exercises and challenges.

Whether you are a beginner looking to understand the basics or an experienced user seeking to deepen your knowledge, these katas will guide you through various aspects of using Argo CD in a real-world context.

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. It allows for Kubernetes resources to be managed using git repositories as the source of truth, making it easier to implement continuous deployment strategies in cloud-native environments. For more info on ArgoCD itself, please visit their website.

It is recommended to follow the exercises in the following order.

• Setup of your ArgoCD root application
• Introduction to ArgoCD
• ArgoCD And Helm
• App of Apps
• ApplicationSets
• Projects
• Sealed Secrets (Not done yet)

You need to have ArgoCD installed and running. All exercises should work on minikube, or kind. You can refer to the installation link for how to install ArgoCD. You do not need the HA setup for the exercises.
