GitOps Workflow

🤖 智能体与 MCP 增强 (Agent & MCP Enhancements)

本 Skill 支持并推荐配合特定的智能体角色和 MCP 工具使用，以获得最佳效果。

推荐智能体角色

• DevOps Engineer: 详见 AGENTS.md。
  • 该角色专注于 IaC (基础设施即代码) 和自动化流水线。
  • 启用后，AI 将严格遵循声明式 API 原则，避免命令式操作。

推荐 MCP 工具

• Kubectl MCP: 允许 AI 直接监控集群状态和调试 Pod。
• Git/GitHub MCP: 用于管理 GitOps 仓库的配置变更和 PR 流程。
• mcp-feedback-enhanced: 在配置自动同步策略 (Auto-Sync) 或处理敏感信息 (Secrets) 时，使用

Complete guide to implementing GitOps workflows with ArgoCD and Flux for automated Kubernetes deployments.

Purpose

Implement declarative, Git-based continuous delivery for Kubernetes using ArgoCD or Flux CD, following OpenGitOps principles.

When to Use This Skill

• Set up GitOps for Kubernetes clusters
• Automate application deployments from Git
• Implement progressive delivery strategies
• Manage multi-cluster deployments
• Configure automated sync policies
• Set up secret management in GitOps

OpenGitOps Principles

1. Declarative - Entire system described declaratively
2. Versioned and Immutable - Desired state stored in Git
3. Pulled Automatically - Software agents pull desired state
4. Continuously Reconciled - Agents reconcile actual vs desired state

ArgoCD Setup

1. Installation

# Create namespace
kubectl create namespace argocd

# Install ArgoCD
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml

# Get admin password
kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d

Reference: See

references/argocd-setup.md

2. Repository Structure

gitops-repo/
├── apps/
│   ├── production/
│   │   ├── app1/
│   │   │   ├── kustomization.yaml
│   │   │   └── deployment.yaml
│   │   └── app2/
│   └── staging/
├── infrastructure/
│   ├── ingress-nginx/
│   ├── cert-manager/
│   └── monitoring/
└── argocd/
    ├── applications/
    └── projects/

3. Create Application

# argocd/applications/my-app.yaml
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: my-app
  namespace: argocd
spec:
  project: default
  source:
    repoURL: https://github.com/org/gitops-repo
    targetRevision: main
    path: apps/production/my-app
  destination:
    server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
    namespace: production
  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: true
      selfHeal: true
    syncOptions:
      - CreateNamespace=true

4. App of Apps Pattern

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: applications
  namespace: argocd
spec:
  project: default
  source:
    repoURL: https://github.com/org/gitops-repo
    targetRevision: main
    path: argocd/applications
  destination:
    server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
    namespace: argocd
  syncPolicy:
    automated: {}

Flux CD Setup

1. Installation

# Install Flux CLI
curl -s https://fluxcd.io/install.sh | sudo bash

# Bootstrap Flux
flux bootstrap github \
  --owner=org \
  --repository=gitops-repo \
  --branch=main \
  --path=clusters/production \
  --personal

2. Create GitRepository

apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1
kind: GitRepository
metadata:
  name: my-app
  namespace: flux-system
spec:
  interval: 1m
  url: https://github.com/org/my-app
  ref:
    branch: main

3. Create Kustomization

apiVersion: kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1
kind: Kustomization
metadata:
  name: my-app
  namespace: flux-system
spec:
  interval: 5m
  path: ./deploy
  prune: true
  sourceRef:
    kind: GitRepository
    name: my-app

Sync Policies

Auto-Sync Configuration

ArgoCD:

syncPolicy:
  automated:
    prune: true # Delete resources not in Git
    selfHeal: true # Reconcile manual changes
    allowEmpty: false
  retry:
    limit: 5
    backoff:
      duration: 5s
      factor: 2
      maxDuration: 3m

Flux:

spec:
  interval: 1m
  prune: true
  wait: true
  timeout: 5m

Reference: See

references/sync-policies.md

Progressive Delivery

Canary Deployment with ArgoCD Rollouts

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Rollout
metadata:
  name: my-app
spec:
  replicas: 5
  strategy:
    canary:
      steps:
        - setWeight: 20
        - pause: { duration: 1m }
        - setWeight: 50
        - pause: { duration: 2m }
        - setWeight: 100

Blue-Green Deployment

strategy:
  blueGreen:
    activeService: my-app
    previewService: my-app-preview
    autoPromotionEnabled: false

Secret Management

External Secrets Operator

apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1beta1
kind: ExternalSecret
metadata:
  name: db-credentials
spec:
  refreshInterval: 1h
  secretStoreRef:
    name: aws-secrets-manager
    kind: SecretStore
  target:
    name: db-credentials
  data:
    - secretKey: password
      remoteRef:
        key: prod/db/password

Sealed Secrets

# Encrypt secret
kubeseal --format yaml < secret.yaml > sealed-secret.yaml

# Commit sealed-secret.yaml to Git

Best Practices

1. Use separate repos or branches for different environments
2. Implement RBAC for Git repositories
3. Enable notifications for sync failures
4. Use health checks for custom resources
5. Implement approval gates for production
6. Keep secrets out of Git (use External Secrets)
7. Use App of Apps pattern for organization
8. Tag releases for easy rollback
9. Monitor sync status with alerts
10. Test changes in staging first

Troubleshooting

Sync failures:

argocd app get my-app
argocd app sync my-app --prune

Out of sync status:

argocd app diff my-app
argocd app sync my-app --force
