Argo CD / Desired state and evidence foundations
Argo CD β Desired state and evidence foundations
Read control loops, Application identity, rendering, projects, status, and sync review.
What you will learn
- Identify the exact source, target, and resource scope.
- Separate comparison and health from authorized mutation and user outcomes.
GitOps reconciliation and the Argo CD boundary
Separate desired-state generation, comparison, synchronization, resource health, and user outcomes.
Start learningApplication identity and desired-state specification
Read an Application as a source, generation, project, destination, and policy contract.
Start learningSource generation and reproducible manifest inputs
Trace a source revision through path, values, tool versions, and generated resource sets.
Start learningAppProjects and destination boundaries
Review source repositories, destinations, resource kinds, and actual Kubernetes authority together.
Start learningSync status and resource health are separate observations
Interpret OutOfSync, Synced, Progressing, Degraded, and unknown evidence without overclaiming.
Start learningReviewing a sync before authorizing adoption
Examine resolved inputs, resource identities, operation options, and verification without executing a sync.
