Argo CD is an open-source GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. In GitOps, all deployment manifests live in a Git repo as the source of truth.

It also provides a web-based UI to see “desired vs live” status of your applications. In this tutorial, we’ll install Argo CD on a local Minikube cluster, access the Argo CD web UI, and deploy a sample GitOps application (a simple NGINX example) from a public repository.
