At the end, we will run a real example of delivering microservices with a progressive delivery approach and recover automatically from failed deployments.

What is Argo Rollouts?

Argo Rollouts is a Kubernetes controller similar to the K8s Deployment objects but is a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) developed by the Argo project team. This CRD has extended capabilities so it can provide progressive delivery in Deployments such as the following:

Blue-green deployments

Costea

Liviu Costea started as a developer in the early 2000 and his career path took him to different roles from Developer to Coding Architect and from Team Lead to CTO. In 2012 he transitioned to DevOps, when at a small company, someone had to start working on pipelines and automation because the traditional way wasn't scalable anymore. In 2018 he started with the Platform Team and then he was the Tech Lead in the Release Team at Mambu, where they designed most of the CI/CD pipelines, adopting GitOps practices. They have been live with Argo CD since 2019. More recently he joined Juni, a promising startup, where they are planning the GitOps adoption. For his contributions to OSS projects, including Argo CD, he was named CNCF Ambassador in August 2020.

After this in most of the companies involved to influence DevOps culture and automation. In 2019 started as an SRE in Lenses (acquired by Celonis) and soon influenced the organization with Kubernetes, GitOps, Cloud and transitioned to a position as Head of Cloud where he introduced GitOps across the whole company and used Argo CD for bootstrapping k8s clusters with utilities and continuous delivery applications. Now he works in an open-source company which is called Mattermost as a Senior Engineering Manager/SRE where he transformed the old GitOps approach (fluxcd) to GitOps v2.0 with Argo CD and built a scalable architecture for multi-tenancy
