Argo CD is a declarative GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes.
It uses Git repositories as the source of truth for application definitions, configurations and environments, continuously comparing the live state of deployed applications with their desired state.
The software detects configuration drift and can synchronize applications automatically or manually. It supports multiple clusters and provides a web interface and command-line client for managing deployments, inspecting application health and reviewing changes.
This is free and open source software.
