Inhaltsangabe

Ship production grade Argo Workflows on Kubernetes for CI and data pipelines, from first install to resilient GitOps at scale.

Many teams struggle to turn Argo Workflows into a dependable platform for real delivery. Cluster policies, storage, and workflow design can cause fragile runs and slow feedback.

This book shows a complete, production focused path. You will configure a solid install, author scalable workflows, move data correctly, secure access, add observability, integrate with GitOps, and keep the system stable under load.

• Set up Argo with Helm or Kustomize, production values, health checks, and smoke tests
• Choose when to use steps or DAGs, and rewrite one into the other without losing clarity
• Use container, script, resource, and suspend templates for clean, testable tasks
• Publish reusable building blocks with WorkflowTemplate and ClusterWorkflowTemplate, plus author with the Hera SDK
• Configure artifact storage for S3 compatible endpoints and decide when to use PVCs versus artifacts
• Pass data with parameters and valueFrom, extract JSON with JSONPath, and design fast fanout loops
• Apply retries, backoff, timeouts, exit handlers, and manual gates with suspend
• Control concurrency with parallelism fields, semaphores, and mutex patterns
• Manage lifecycle with TTLStrategy, Pod GC, and CronWorkflow history limits
• Offload node status to SQL, archive workflows, and size schemas for growth
• Expose metrics for Prometheus and export traces with OpenTelemetry, then build useful alerts
• Use argo logs and tracing patterns to triage slow UIs and failed runs
• Implement least privilege RBAC and service accounts, and map SSO groups to roles via Argo CD and Dex
• Shard controllers with instanceID for safe multi tenancy across teams
• Trigger builds with Argo Events, wire webhooks and GitHub sources to workflows
• Adopt GitOps with Argo CD using sync waves, hooks, and the app of apps pattern
• Run a CI chain that builds, scans, signs with cosign, pushes, and deploys with guarded gates
• Use advanced execution with HTTP and Plugin templates via the Argo Agent and WorkflowTaskSet
• Migrate to the Emissary executor and use ContainerSet for high throughput, local data sharing
• Follow a triage playbook for stuck pods, artifact failures, pending workflows, and large requests, plus plan safe upgrades

This is a code heavy guide with working YAML, Bash, Python, and SQL snippets that you can adapt directly to real clusters and pipelines.
