About Argo Project

Argo Project is a suite of open-source tools designed to enhance Kubernetes functionality and streamline various aspects of container orchestration and management. The project's main website, https://argoproj.github.io/, showcases four primary tools that form the core of the Argo ecosystem[1][2]:

Argo Workflows

Argo Workflows is a Kubernetes-native workflow engine that supports both Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and step-based workflows. This tool allows users to define complex, multi-step processes that can be executed efficiently within a Kubernetes cluster[1][2].

Argo CD

Argo CD is a declarative continuous delivery tool that comes with a feature-rich user interface. It enables GitOps practices, allowing teams to manage their application deployments and infrastructure configurations using Git repositories as the source of truth[1][2].

Argo Rollouts

This tool simplifies advanced Kubernetes deployment strategies, such as Canary releases and Blue-Green deployments. Argo Rollouts makes it easier for teams to implement progressive delivery techniques, reducing the risk associated with new application releases[1][2].

Argo Events

Argo Events is an event-based dependency management system for Kubernetes. It allows users to define and manage complex event-driven workflows and automate processes based on various triggers within the Kubernetes ecosystem[1][2].

The Argo Project has gained significant traction in the Kubernetes community, with a growing list of adopters including major technology companies and organizations. Some notable users mentioned on the website include Adobe, Alibaba, BlackRock, and Red Hat[1][2].

The project is maintained by a group of corporate sponsors, including:

  • Akuity
  • BlackRock
  • Codefresh
  • Intuit
  • Pipekit
  • Red Hat

These maintainers contribute to the ongoing development and support of the Argo Project tools[1][2].

The Argo Project's goal is to help users "Get More Done with Kubernetes" by providing a comprehensive set of tools that enhance cluster management, workflow execution, and GitOps practices. By leveraging these tools, organizations can improve their Kubernetes-based operations and streamline their development and deployment processes.
