Argo-cd Alternatives

• Soup: GitOps operator for Kubernetes focused on simplicity

  Use SSA Possible with Flux and soon with ArgoCD as well https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/pull/1908 https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/issues/2267

• GitOps Without Pipelines With ArgoCD Image Updater
  1 project | reddit.com/r/GitOps | 26 Oct 2021

  Needing to split up your manifests and application code in two repositories is to me not a con. Rather, keeping them in the same is an anti pattern and against Argo CD best practices.

• ArgoCD won't allow my 2 apps to use the same secret

  You can create a single application only for the shared part. See also this https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/issues/2600

  ArgoCD offers an alternative to Flux. It belongs to the Argo project, which is also based at the CNCF, and which is, just like Flux, in the second maturity level (incubator phase). A comprehensive comparison of the two GitOps operators can be found later in the article.

• Thoughtworks have moved GitOps to “hold” on their tech radar due to the complexity in implementing good branching practices. I must say, I quite like GitOps and have not had trouble with branches. What are your thoughts on GitOps?

  Good catch, it caught me up when I first did this. You can see an issue I filed here https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/issues/4231 Even this didn't happen with lightweight tags. Had to make sure Jenkins was checking out the tags as well. But it's a problem you get working once and then move past, as opposed to the problems above which could be an issue on every deploy.

• KUBERNETES - CI/CD WITH TEKTON & ARGO CD
  6 projects | dev.to | 16 Mar 2021

  Argo CD, like Tekton, also creates its own Kubernetes custom resources that are installed into the Kubernetes cluster.

  I think this can be bested summed up by this quote by some of the maintainers of ArgoCD.

• The pains of GitOps 1.0
  3 projects | dev.to | 18 Nov 2020

  Argo supports custom diffs and Flux has a recommendation but I consider these workarounds as simple hacks that move away from the main GitOps promise and create several other issues in the long run.

  3 projects | dev.to | 18 Nov 2020

  At the time of writing, neither Flux nor ArgoCD support this basic Helm scenario. There are several workarounds and limitations that you have to accept if you wish to use GitOps with Helm charts making the process much more complex than needed.
