Argo CD offers various installation methods, each suited for different needs and organizational sizes, ranging from simple manifest installations to more complex setups like hosted instances and management via a control plane. While manual installation using manifests is quick for prototypes, it poses challenges during upgrades, making it suitable only for demos. A hosted Argo CD instance managed by Codefresh simplifies maintenance and updates, allowing users to focus on deployment, although it may not fit scenarios requiring custom configurations or firewall deployments. Alternatively, organizations can use Argo CD to manage itself, offering customization but lacking established best practices. For those managing multiple instances, Codefresh's GitOps control plane provides a unified interface to streamline management across diverse deployment environments, ensuring a balance between simplicity and control. This approach allows organizations to focus on application deployment rather than managing individual Argo CD instances, aligning with their specific needs for scalability and redundancy.
