Introducing Kargo with Jesse Suen and Kelsey Hightower

We're happy to present the next-generation continuous delivery and environment orchestration platform for Kubernetes - Kargo!
GitHub: github.com/akuity/kargo (Please give us a star!)
Discord: / discord
Kargo is an open-source project.
From the creators of Argo Project comes Kargo. It builds upon GitOps principles and integrates with existing Kubernetes deployment technologies, like Argo CD, to streamline and automate the declarative promotion of changes across multiple application environments.
The webinar is hosted by Kelsey Hightower, accompanied by Jesse Suen, CTO at Akuity.

Promotion of the config across the environments and also the image tag with the same tool sounds cool

hi thanks for the video. i have a question. How does Kargo fit in with Argo Rollout? is it replacing it or they can be used together? Thanks

[@SantoshPai314]

Excellent commentary here!

[@scottamolinari]

There is a lot of "click that button" said here. Is it possible to automate the "button clicks"? Or rather, will Kargo have an API available to programmatically "click the button" to promote apps to different stages? Like, have workflows in Argo Workflows kick these things off?

[@scottamolinari]

Um, often Git with branching is the control for stage control. I'm missing this possibility or maybe my current mind model is off in general?

[@gawa85]

is there any way to connect to multiple argocd , and have the same cicd process ?

[@devopstech214]

Similar to manifest files how can we use kargo to list and update Helm chart version to specific environment

[@pheNam2000]

Does this support app of apps pattern?

[@scottamolinari]

Let's say, every dev stage is theoretically a PR. So, somehow I feel either the dev stage might need to be created in a different system and promotion can be taken on after that with Kargo? Hmm.... 🤔

Intuit built something like this out in Jenkins with groovy and bash scripting. Not sure I’d be able to replicate it effectively in a different setting without something like this.
