Send me your nodes! (To be clear this means post pictures of your Kubernetes nodes and tell me their names)

As much as I love Kubernetes, this weekend is technology free. Have a good Memorial Day weekend! 🇺🇸🫡

I do think some well intentioned Valkey users have spread some FUD here.

Redis licensing has caused a lot of heartache so let give a clear update from what we're thinking with the @argoproj.bsky.social 1. Argo CD does not include any Redis code and deploying Argo CD doesn't require Redis.

6. Lots of Argo users deploy with Redis enterprise, that's their business and doesn't really have anything to do with the Argo project.

If you're selling software hosting Redis for others, you may have an impact. I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice. This is just to clarify what a CNCF project is and isn't required to do.

4. The CNCF license policy applies to components used in our OSS repos, because we don't have any Redis code, it doesn't impact our license.

5. If you want swap Redis for something else in your install that's fine and if you'd like to contribute docs about that, that's cool too. It's OSS and it's up to you.

2. The Redis license change in v7.4 to RSALv2 / SSPLv1 doesn't have any impact on Argo. 3. The Redis license change in v8 to add AGPLv3 doesn't have any impact on Argo.

Today is the last day for the Argomobile. It's being repurposed for a new life and sadly the beautiful artwork will have to come off. 😢🫡 Here we see her in all her glory this past winter.

Upgrading the home network to 10Gbe and it's amazing how difficult finding good hardware is. 10GBe adapter for Macbook? $200. Good switch? How about $200 switches that break after 30 days?

I actually think K8s handles secrets pretty well when you add in tools like external secrets, or vault operator but it's pretty important to understand how it all works!

In 2024 @argoproj had 100 releases. 🤯

BIG news coming from Codefresh & OctopusDeploy with the launch of ✨GitOps Cloud✨ just in time for KubeCon. GitOps Cloud will change how you deploy to Kubernetes with app & environment promotions powered by Argo. Let's 👀 why it's special 🧵

The promotion template lets you specify which paths should and shouldn't be counted in a diff. This gives you the flexibility to not only promote images but any component of your manifests in Helm, Kustomize or anything else.

codefresh.ioIntroducing Codefresh GitOps Cloud - Seamless environment promotions across clusters using your existing Argo CDWe’re excited to announce our new Codefresh GitOps Cloud offering that lets you bring your GitOps deployments to the next level. You get: In this blog post, we’ll dive into some of the key features o...

There are too many features to go through here, check out the announcement blog post by Kostis codefresh.io/blog/introdu... Or better yet, go try it free at codefresh.io

How does GitOps Cloud know what to upgrade? We take Argo CD apps and add an annotation to make them part of a single product. Now we know that "accounts-dev" and "accounts-prod" are related. So now I can drag 'n drop to do a realtime diff and compare multiple apps in different environments.

Environments are another really exciting area. An environment can be any combo of Kubernetes Cluster, Namespace, Argo CD instance, or even app label. "Prod-us" might contain multiple versions of an app like you see here with differences between them. How do we keep the diff straight?

GitOps cloud provides tons of insights and quality of life improvements for GitOps practitioners but the star the show is ✨Environment & App Promotion✨ The key is a brilliant new K8s CRD to define how changes move from one environment to another.

This includes 🟢 What tests should run and when 🟢 Any arbitrary workflows needed 🟢 How upgrades should happen – with a Pull Request or a commit To start deploying, you need a few key concepts: First – Products:

With GitOps Cloud you get: ✅ Multi-env app promotions with Argo CD, including: 🟢 Full visibility 🟢 GitHub checks 🟢 Smart concurrency 🟢 Promotion modeling w/hooks and actions ✅ Bring your own Argo CD or install the Codefresh runtime ✅ Straightforward pricing ✅ And lots more

First of, GitOps Cloud takes the very popular Codefresh GitOps and makes it accessible to a much broader audience. Before today, GitOps required the Codefresh runtime. If you used Argo CD, that meant upgrading your env. Now you can connect to any existing Argo CD instances!

I'm on this app for hot tech takes. If I wanted parliamentary procedure I'd watch the Phantom Menace.

I'm at the stage in my Kubecon prep where I officially need two more weeks but the conference starts in 5 days.
