Why this program matters

Without expert ArgoCD skills, 40% of Kubernetes deployments drift manually, causing 25% of production downtimes (source Gartner).
DevOps teams lose 15h/week on manual syncs, exposing them to fatal human errors: secret breaches (average cost 4M€), botched rollouts blocking revenue.
Competitors using GitOps deploy 10x faster and scale effortlessly.
Risk obsolescence?
70% of SREs cite drifts as their top frustration (DevOps Report 2023).
Invest 35h to eliminate these pitfalls, secure production, and lead zero-touch projects.

Learning objectives

Configure ArgoCD for advanced multi-cluster GitOps deployments.
Implement automated synchronizations with hooks and custom plugins.
Optimize ArgoCD performance and scalability in production.
Secure access, secrets, and RBAC in critical environments.
Integrate ArgoCD with CI/CD tools like GitLab or Jenkins.
Diagnose and resolve complex ArgoCD incidents.

Program

Module 1Day 1: ArgoCD Installation: HA deployment with Helm and manifests (cluster ready).

Install ArgoCD in high availability mode on Kubernetes, configure Redis and Postgres for persistence, test the UI and CLI (argocd), deploy your first GitOps app from a Git repo, generate health reports, and validate initial syncs through practical exercises on a dedicated cluster, for production-ready setup in no time.

Module 2Day 2: ArgoCD Applications: Advanced sync management and hooks (app deliverables).

Create and manage multi-cluster ApplicationSets, implement pre-sync and post-sync hooks for smooth migrations, customize sync waves with Kustomize and Jsonnet, simulate drifts using real DevOps team cases, produce reusable templates, and automate progressive rollouts for irresistible zero-downtime deployments.

Module 3Day 3: Multi-cluster ArgoCD: Federation and scaling (federation tools).

Federate multiple Kubernetes clusters under a central ArgoCD, configure AppProjects for namespace isolation, scale with HPA and autoscalers, integrate Ignite for multi-tenant UI, test failover with real outage scenarios, generate custom Grafana dashboards, and optimize for 100+ apps, turning your ops into a well-oiled machine.

Module 4Day 4: ArgoCD Security: RBAC, secrets, and audits (SSO methods).

Strengthen RBAC with granular roles and OIDC/SSO, manage secrets via Sealed Secrets and Vault, enable audit logs with Loki, simulate attacks through pentest exercises, configure Git webhooks for signatures, and implement OPA/Gatekeeper policies, for a fortified ArgoCD bunker against breaches with SOC2 compliance as a bonus.

Module 5Day 5: Advanced ArgoCD Integrations: CI/CD and troubleshooting (production cases).

Integrate ArgoCD with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Tekton, automate webhook triggers, diagnose via argocd app logs and debug tools, resolve complex health issues on real production cases, deploy automated rollbacks, and produce a certifiable final project ready to boost your GitOps career tomorrow.

Evaluation method

Daily technical quizzes, practical projects per day, final HA deployment audit.

Learning method

80% hands-on workshops, personal Kubernetes clusters, real Fortune 500 cases.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.

Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

Live briefing on goals and team context.
Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.

Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
Program co-written then validated by your team.

Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
