Deploy and manage Kubernetes applications using GitOps principles with Argo CD or Flux for automated, auditable, and repeatable deployments.

Deploy Argo CD to cluster and connect to Git repository.

Expected: Argo CD installed in argocd namespace. UI accessible via port-forward or Ingress. Admin password changed from default. Git repository added with SSH or token authentication. Repository connection verified.

Implement GitOps continuous delivery using Argo CD or Flux with app-of-apps pattern, automated sync policies, drift detection, and multi-environment promotion. Manage Kubernetes deployments declaratively from Git with automated reconciliation. Use when implementing declarative infrastructure management, migrating from imperative kubectl commands to Git-driven deployments, setting up multi-environment promotion workflows, enforcing code review gates for production, or meeting audit and compliance requirements.
