Install GitOps Runtime and create Git Sources

If you have created your account, you can install the GitOps Runtime.

The GitOps Runtime is the cornerstone of Codefresh’s GitOps capabilities, simplifying the complexity of managing deployments at scale with Argo CD. It provides unique benefits that enhance visibility, scalability, and security, making deployment management seamless and efficient.

Benefits of GitOps Runtimes

• Unified visibility
  All Argo CD instances are managed through a single control plane, providing comprehensive visibility into all installed Runtimes. The GitOps Runtimes page displays essential details about each Runtime and offers tools for streamlined management.

• Effortless maintenance
  Easily track and upgrade Runtime versions. The Runtimes page includes a version column that alerts you when updates are available, with links to detailed changelogs for transparent decision-making.

• Flexible scalability
  Simplify the management of multiple Argo CD instances by installing additional instances, or scale down by connecting extra remote clusters to an existing GitOps Runtime.
