ArgoCon EU 2025: We’ll see you in London!

Software delivery is about more than building and syncing, taking a holistic approach to CD helps us get more out of Argo while improving the experience for developers and operators alike. In this session, we’ll share a broad view of CD that includes approvals, environment promotion, disaster recovery, and overall change management to help you get more of the best from Argo.

In this talk, we’ll review the current state of application promotion across environments and how the different approaches work with pitfalls and benefits. To keep it honest, DevOps grump and professional detractor Viktor Farcic will bring his honest take as we look at the seemingly endless nuances of environment promotion and change management.

Argo Rollouts is a Kubernetes controller for Progressive Delivery deployments. In the most basic scenario, Argo Rollouts supports advanced Kubernetes deployments such as blue/green and canaries. While this is great, the main selling point of a Kubernetes cluster is the autoscaling facilities it offers. Can you use canary deployments while still taking advantage of Horizontal (and Vertical) autoscalers?

The answer is yes! In this talk, we will see how you can combine these two worlds – progressive delivery and autoscaling – and explain how to perform advanced deployments even in the presence of autoscalers.

This session will provide a technical deep dive into securing Argo CD installations for multi-tenant environments. We’ll examine the building blocks for establishing effective security controls—like Application Projects, security policies, and user roles—and highlight best practices for defining access controls using Argo CD’s RBAC policies, and restricting deployments to specific clusters and namespaces and structuring Application Projects.

How do you bootstrap Argo CD? Is it Terraform? Kubectl apply? Or have you set it to auto with Autopilot? Installing Argo CD to play around is easy but setting it up for a scalable, well-organized, and well-managed software delivery experience requires know-how and a bit of elbow grease. In this session, we’ll show how Argo CD Autopilot works and can serve as the basis for your GitOps pattern. This has benefits like easy disaster recovery, better user experience, more predictability in organization and adoption, and an overall streamlined experience.
