Managing the cluster in ArgoCD
ArgoCD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. It is designed as a Kubernetes controller that continuously monitors UiPath® running applications and checks the current state against the desired target state as specified in the docker registry. For more details, see ArgoCD documentation.
Administrators can have an overview of the cluster, configurations, applications status, and health, all via a simple UI or CLI. ArgoCD comes with its own open-source bundled Redis, which supports both HA and non-HA configurations.
Automation Suite uses ArgoCD in the following scenarios:
- Installing and upgrading the Fabric components and core UiPath® services.
- Automating the deployment of the desired application states in the specified target environments. ArgoCD follows the GitOps pattern of using Git/helm repositories as the source of truth for defining the desired application state.
- Keeping track of the installation state. If the installation failed at a specific point and you resume it after a while, ArgoCD skips all the steps that are already synced and resumes from the point where it failed.
- Self-healing the applications. If you mistakenly delete any of the objects, the manifests will automatically get synced.
You can use the ArgoCD read-only account in the following basic scenarios:
- Visualizing all your apps, pods, and services in a simple interface;
- Monitoring the health of all your apps, pods, and services;
- Quickly identifying issues in your deployment;
- Resyncing your application in your cluster.
You can use the ArgoCD admin account in the following advanced scenarios:
- Changing parameters for debugging purposes only; for instance, disabling self-healing and editting YAML in Rancher;
- Deleting pods;
- Updating Kerberos authentication;
- Troubleshooting;
- Managing Orchestrator custom configuration; for instance, Setting up encryption key per tenant;
- ;
- Pre-migration steps;
- Exporting Prometheus metrics to an external system: Using the monitoring stack;
- If Insights looker pod fails to start after restore: Backing up and restoring the cluster;
- Syncing applications.
Note: Make sure to refer to the proper UiPath documentation before deleting or changing the advanced configuration on the UI.
