The text provides an in-depth exploration of Argo CD, focusing on how the Application Custom Resource Definition (CRD) object groups Kubernetes manifests and the challenges encountered in microservices architecture due to the autonomy of Applications. It discusses the App-of-Apps pattern, which allows for bootstrapping and managing multiple Argo CD Applications as a single entity, particularly highlighting its use in conjunction with Syncwaves to establish application dependencies. The article also touches on the importance of readiness and liveness probes in ensuring accurate health reporting and describes the ApplicationSets feature as an evolution of App-of-Apps, though noting its current limitation in setting up Application dependencies. The text concludes by inviting readers to learn more through a certification course on GitOps and Argo CD.
