Earlier this year, when Codefresh announced the first course in our GitOps for Argo certification program – GitOps Fundamentals – we had high hopes that the course would satisfy the community’s pent-up demand for practical GitOps knowledge. To meet this demand, we designed a course that features lab environments to dramatically improve the learning experience. Each student gets a lab environment pre-configured with everything they need to learn GitOps using Argo CD.

We have already covered several aspects of Argo CD in this blog such as best practices, cluster topologies and even application ordering, but it is always good to get back to basics and talk about installation and more importantly about maintenance. Chances are that one of your first Argo CD installations happened with kubectl as explained in the getting started guide.
