Welcome to the Ultimate Argo Bootcamp – more than just a course, this is a hands-on bootcamp designed to equip you with real-world skills through a comprehensive use case. If you’re a DevOps practitioner, system administrator, or software engineer looking to master the Argo suite of tools, this bootcamp is your gateway to advanced CI/CD automation.
Unlike other courses that offer random exercises, this bootcamp revolves around a practical, real-world use case. Each module is a critical step in building and implementing a complete CI/CD pipeline for a microservices application. You’ll follow a logical, step-by-step progression, where each module builds upon the previous one, leading to the final deployment and automation of the entire system.
Starting with ArgoCD and GitOps principles, you’ll move on to mastering advanced deployment strategies like Blue/Green and Canary deployments with Argo Rollouts. As you progress, you’ll orchestrate complex workflows with Argo Workflows and set up event-driven automation using Argo Events. The course also covers real-time monitoring and analysis with Prometheus and Grafana, ensuring that your deployments are optimized and monitored effectively.
In addition, you’ll integrate Argo Image Updater with ArgoCD to automate image updates and implement automated experiments and analysis to validate your deployments.
By the end of this bootcamp, you’ll have built a complete CI/CD pipeline from scratch, with every module contributing a vital component of the overall solution. This structured, use case-driven approach ensures that you’re not just learning tools, but acquiring the skills and confidence to apply them in real-world scenarios.
