Can I use this for progressive delivery?

Absolutely. The skill covers Canary and Blue-Green deployment strategies using Argo Rollouts to ensure safe and controlled application updates.

What GitOps principles does this skill follow?

It follows the OpenGitOps standards: declarative state, versioned/immutable storage, automated pulling, and continuous reconciliation.

What is the main benefit of using the GitOps Workflow skill?

It allows you to manage Kubernetes clusters declaratively through Git, ensuring version control, auditability, and automated reconciliation of your infrastructure.

Does this skill support both ArgoCD and Flux?

Yes, it provides detailed implementation patterns and setup commands for both ArgoCD and Flux CD depending on your organizational needs.

How does this skill handle Kubernetes secrets?

It includes patterns for using External Secrets Operator (integrating with AWS/GCP/Azure) or Sealed Secrets to keep sensitive data safe while following GitOps principles.

Deployment & DevOps

Implements automated, declarative Kubernetes deployments using ArgoCD and Flux to maintain infrastructure through Git-based reconciliation.

About

This skill empowers Claude to architect and manage GitOps-driven deployment pipelines within Kubernetes environments. It provides comprehensive guidance for setting up ArgoCD or Flux CD, implementing the 'App of Apps' pattern, and managing complex repository structures. By adhering to OpenGitOps principles, it enables automated continuous delivery, progressive deployment strategies like Canary and Blue-Green, and secure secret management, ensuring that the actual state of your cluster always matches the desired state defined in your Git repository.
