Argo CD Operator

The ArgoCD custom resource is a Kubernetes Custom Resource (CRD) that describes the desired state for a given Argo CD cluster that allows you to configure the components which make up an Argo CD cluster.

Argo CD CLI tool

The Argo CD CLI tool is a tool used to configure Argo CD through the command line. Red Hat OpenShift GitOps does not support this binary. Use the OpenShift Console to configure the Argo CD.

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: ArgoCD
metadata:
  name: example-argocd
spec:
  notifications:
    enabled: true
