Summary

The integration of Argo and Flux into Argo Flux represents a significant development in GitOps tools, providing a more efficient approach to Kubernetes deployments. This collaboration emerged from the partnership between two open-source projects, Argo from Applatix (acquired by Intuit) and Flux from Weaveworks, around KubeCon North America 2019. Although there is no single product called "Argo Flux," the projects are merging through the GitOps Engine to enhance their capabilities. The author shares insights from their experience using Argo on Amazon EKS, noting that while Argo was easier to install compared to other GitOps tools, challenges remain in structuring projects within GitHub. The Harness Platform offers flexibility in deployment methodologies, accommodating various infrastructures and supporting GitOps principles, even if not strictly adhering to the trifecta of Git, infrastructure as code, and Kubernetes.
