GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes supporting multi-cluster deployments. Like having an automated deployment system that keeps your applications synchronized across multiple environments.

Real-World Example

DevOps teams use Argo CD to automatically deploy applications to development, staging, and production Kubernetes clusters.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

Argo CD is an open-source GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes, not a managed cloud-provider service. All major clouds can run it on their Kubernetes offerings (Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE, Oracle OKE). Provider-native alternatives are typically CI/CD or deployment services (e.g., AWS CodePipeline/CodeDeploy, Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions, Google Cloud Deploy), but these are not direct equivalents to Argo CD’s GitOps pull-based reconciliation model.
