Argoproj - Get stuff done with Kubernetes

Quickstart

kubectl create namespace argo
kubectl apply -n argo -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo/stable/manifests/install.yaml

What is Argoproj?

Argoproj is a collection of tools for getting work done with Kubernetes.

• Argo Workflows - Container-native Workflow Engine
• Argo CD - Declarative GitOps Continuous Delivery
• Argo Events - Event-based Dependency Manager
• Argo Rollouts - Progressive Delivery with support for Canary and Blue Green deployment strategies

Also argoproj-labs is a separate GitHub org that we setup for community contributions related to the Argoproj ecosystem. Repos in argoproj-labs are administered by the owners of each project. Please reach out to us on the Argo slack channel if you have a project that you would like to add to the org to make it easier to others in the Argo community to find, use, and contribute back.

What is Argo Workflows?

Argo Workflows is an open source container-native workflow engine for orchestrating parallel jobs on Kubernetes. Argo Workflows is implemented as a Kubernetes CRD (Custom Resource Definition).

• Define workflows where each step in the workflow is a container.
• Model multi-step workflows as a sequence of tasks or capture the dependencies between tasks using a graph (DAG).
• Easily run compute intensive jobs for machine learning or data processing in a fraction of the time using Argo Workflows on Kubernetes.
• Run CI/CD pipelines natively on Kubernetes without configuring complex software development products.

Why Argo Workflows?

• Designed from the ground up for containers without the overhead and limitations of legacy VM and server-based environments.
• Cloud agnostic and can run on any Kubernetes cluster.
• Easily orchestrate highly parallel jobs on Kubernetes.
• Argo Workflows puts a cloud-scale supercomputer at your fingertips!
