GitOps Fundamentals using Argo CD and FluxCD – Online Course
 
GitOps Fundamentals using Argo CD and FluxCD is a deep-dive course for DevOps engineers, platform teams, cloud architects, and SREs looking to implement continuous deployment and operational automation using Git as the single source of truth. This course provides end-to-end knowledge of GitOps practices, tools, and workflows through two leading open-source tools—Argo CD and FluxCD.
 
GitOps is a revolutionary approach to managing cloud-native applications, where Git repositories define the entire system state. This methodology allows teams to standardize, automate, and secure deployments across multiple Kubernetes environments. Argo CD and FluxCD are the two most popular GitOps tools, providing declarative sync, rollback, self-healing, and multi-environment support.
 
This course takes a hands-on approach to show you how to implement GitOps pipelines, manage cluster configurations, roll out updates, integrate secrets and policies, and maintain a fully Git-managed deployment workflow. You’ll gain a practical foundation to operate, scale, and secure Kubernetes deployments with GitOps principles.
 
What is GitOps and Why Use Argo CD & FluxCD?
 
GitOps is a DevOps methodology where Git repositories serve as the source of truth for declarative infrastructure and application deployment. In GitOps, everything from code to cluster state is version-controlled, auditable, and automatically reconciled with live environments.
 
Argo CD and FluxCD are Kubernetes-native tools that continuously sync Git repositories with cluster state. They enable:
  • Declarative deployments using YAML
  • Automatic rollback and drift detection
  • CI/CD decoupling (GitOps ≠ CI)
  • Secure, audited, and scalable release pipelines
Argo CD offers a GUI, role-based access, and application grouping, while FluxCD emphasizes Git-native workflows, GitOps Toolkit, and integrations with Helm, Kustomize, and more.
 
 
How to Use This Course Effectively
  • Start with GitOps fundamentals before diving into tools.
  • Practice Git-based application delivery with hands-on Kubernetes labs.
  • Deploy real apps using Argo CD and FluxCD workflows.
  • Use labs, demos, and YAML templates to simulate production environments.
  • Apply GitOps to both infrastructure and application deployments.
This course is ideal for:
 
  • DevOps and SREs looking to simplify and secure Kubernetes deployments
  • Developers and platform teams adopting GitOps workflows
  • Cloud-native engineers automating multi-environment releases
  • Anyone managing Kubernetes with declarative practices

Interview Questions Back to Top
1. What is GitOps and how is it different from traditional CI/CD?
GitOps is a methodology where Git is the source of truth for deployment. Unlike CI/CD pipelines, GitOps focuses on declarative state and automated sync with Kubernetes.
 
2. What are Argo CD and FluxCD?
Both are Kubernetes-native GitOps tools. Argo CD provides a UI and app-centric model, while FluxCD is Git-native and based on the GitOps Toolkit.
 
3. What does “drift detection” mean in GitOps?
It’s the process of detecting when the actual state of the cluster differs from the desired state defined in Git, prompting automated reconciliation.
 
4. How does Argo CD handle rollbacks?
Argo CD tracks Git history. You can rollback to a previous commit or revision and sync it with the cluster to restore prior state.
 
5. What are Kustomize and Helm in the context of GitOps?
They’re tools for managing Kubernetes manifests. GitOps tools integrate with them to template configurations and manage multiple environments declaratively.
 
6. How is security handled in GitOps pipelines?
Secrets are encrypted using tools like SOPS. Argo CD/FluxCD use RBAC, namespace scoping, and HTTPS Git repo access for security.
 
7. How does FluxCD differ from Argo CD?
FluxCD focuses on Git-native workflows and has no GUI by default. Argo CD includes a rich UI and application groupings, with stronger visibility features.
 
8. What is a “reconciliation loop” in GitOps?
It’s the continuous process of checking for changes between Git and cluster state and applying updates to bring them into alignment.
 
9. Can GitOps be used for infrastructure as well as applications?
Yes. Tools like Crossplane or Terraform can be integrated with GitOps to manage infrastructure through declarative manifests.
 
10. Why is GitOps becoming a standard practice?
It provides version-controlled, auditable, and automated deployment processes—critical for large-scale Kubernetes environments and compliance-heavy industries.
