Implementing GitOps Principles with ArgoCD - Platform Engineering Hands-On Lab Icon

Lab Overview

This lab demonstrates all four OpenGitOps principles using ArgoCD. You'll implement each principle through practical exercises that prepare you for the CGOA certification exam.

The four principles you'll implement: 1. Declarative: Define system configuration as declarative code 2. Versioned and Immutable: Store configuration in version control with immutable history 3. Pulled Automatically: Software agents automatically pull configuration 4. Continuously Reconciled: Agents continuously reconcile actual vs desired state

This lab aligns with the CGOA exam domain "GitOps Principles" which covers 30% of the exam content.

What You'll Learn

Implement declarative configuration using Kustomize

Create versioned and immutable configurations in Git

Configure pull-based deployment with ArgoCD

Enable continuous reconciliation and self-healing
