Extending Argo CD with Health Checks and Resource Actions

Explore the intricacies of extending Argo CD with custom health checks and resource actions in this informative conference talk. Dive into the world of Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) and their growing importance in Kubernetes, especially with the increased use of operators. Learn how to effectively manage Custom Resources (CRs) derived from CRDs within Argo CD to maximize their potential. Through a demo-heavy presentation, discover the significance of custom health checks and resource actions, and gain a quick primer on creating them using LUA. Acquire practical skills for efficiently writing and debugging these extensions locally, and understand best practices for developing your own. Finally, learn how to contribute to the upstream Argo CD community by sharing new or updated health checks and resource actions, enhancing the overall operational experience for Kubernetes users.
