This guide provides insights into both GitOps controllers and complementary tools that enhance Kubernetes application deployment and management.
GitOps Controller: ArgoCD
ArgoCD is our primary GitOps controller. It is a declarative continuous deployment tool for Kubernetes that simplifies application management while ensuring your deployment process remains automated and consistent.Additional GitOps Tools
Enhance your Kubernetes GitOps workflows with these additional tools:- Atlantis: Automates Terraform workflows by integrating directly with pull requests.
- AutoApply: Automatically applies configuration changes from a Git repository to your Kubernetes cluster, saving manual intervention.
- CloudRollout: Provides advanced feature flagging, enabling teams to deploy and iterate rapidly without sacrificing safety.
- GitOps with FluxCD: Offers continuous and progressive delivery solutions optimized for Kubernetes environments.
- Helm Operator: Automates the release of Helm charts following GitOps principles.

- Flagger: A Kubernetes operator focused on progressive delivery. It supports canary releases, A/B testing, and blue-green deployments.
- Ignite: Functions as a virtual machine manager with a container-like user experience, incorporating built-in GitOps capabilities.
- Faros: A GitOps controller that utilizes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) for streamlined operations.
- GitKube: Facilitates Docker image building and deployment to Kubernetes clusters through a Git push workflow.
- Jenkins X: Tailored for Kubernetes, this CI/CD platform provides pipeline automation with integrated GitOps and preview environments.
- KubeStack: Leverages Terraform to provide a GitOps framework for cloud Kubernetes distributions such as AKS, GKE, and EKS, complete with CI/CD examples.
- Weave Cloud: An automation and management platform designed to support both development and DevOps teams.
- PipeCD: A continuous delivery solution built for declarative Kubernetes, serverless, and infrastructure applications.
