ArgoCD

ArgoCD is the industry standard for GitOps. It syncs the state of a Kubernetes cluster with a Git repository. 2025 features: ApplicationSets for multi-tenant management.

When to Use

• Kubernetes CD: Continuous Delivery specifically for K8s.
• GitOps: You want your cluster state (YAML) versioned in Git.
• Drift Detection: ArgoCD alerts you if someone manually hacks kubectl edit in production.
