CI/CD Pipelines & GitOps with ArgoCD

Module 7 takes the agent you built in Module 6 and turns it into a production cloud service. You'll containerize the stack, orchestrate it on Kubernetes, automate delivery, and operate it with observability, security, and cost controls. The goal: a reliable Digital FTE that runs 24/7 for real users.

Prerequisites: Modules 4-6. You need a working agent service to deploy.

You build the gitops-deployment skill first, then refine it across CI/CD foundations and ArgoCD GitOps patterns until you have a production pipeline for your agent services.


Goals

GoalDescription
Actions PipelinesDesign CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions (build, test, quality gates)
GitOps PrinciplesApply GitOps principles with ArgoCD as the declarative source of truth
ArgoCD AppsConfigure ArgoCD apps, sync strategies, waves, and hooks
Scale & SecurityScale with ApplicationSets; secure with Projects, RBAC, and secrets management
Progressive DeliveryRun progressive delivery (canary/blue-green) with health/notification hooks
Multi-ClusterOperate multi-cluster GitOps and capture patterns in a reusable skill

Chapter Progression

ChapterFocus
Chapter 1Build Your GitOps Skill (Scaffold from docs)
Chapters 2-5CI/CD Fundamentals (Concepts, Actions workflows, Docker builds, tests)
Chapters 6-10GitOps & ArgoCD Core (Principles, architecture, first app, sync strategies/waves)
Chapters 11-16Production Patterns (ApplicationSets, RBAC, health, progressive delivery, secrets, multi-cluster)
Chapter 17AI-Assisted GitOps (Use AI to author/review pipelines)
Chapter 18Capstone: End-to-End Pipeline (Commit-to-cluster production pipeline)
Chapter 19Finalize GitOps Skill (Package prompts and patterns)

Each chapter ends with a skill reflection to test, find gaps, and improve the skill.


Outcome & Method

You finish with an automated pipeline that builds, tests, and deploys your Kubernetes agent via ArgoCD, plus a GitOps skill for future projects. The flow moves from foundations to ArgoCD production patterns, then AI-assisted authoring, ending in a spec-driven capstone.
