Extending Argo CD with Health Checks and Resource Actions - Gerald Nunn, Red Hat
Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) are becoming more and more popular in Kubernetes particularly with the increased use of operators. Managing Custom Resources (CRs) derived from CRDs effectively in Argo CD is essential to get the most of these resources. In this demo heavy session we will cover the following while building out a concrete example: 1. What are custom health checks and resource actions 2. The importance of creating these for Argo CD for the best operational experience 3. A quick primer on creating them using LUA 4. How to efficiently write and debug these locally 5. Best practices when writing your own. 6. Participate in the upstream Argo CD community by contributing new or updated health checks and resource actions.
