About This Architecture

GitHub to Kubernetes CI/CD pipeline with ArgoCD implements a complete GitOps workflow where GitHub Actions runs unit and integration tests, builds Docker images, scans for vulnerabilities, and pushes to ECR. ArgoCD continuously reconciles the Kubernetes cluster state with manifests stored in a GitOps repository, ensuring declarative, auditable deployments. This architecture decouples CI (build and test) from CD (deployment), enabling teams to manage infrastructure as code while maintaining a single source of truth in Git. Fork this diagram on Diagrams.so to customize the pipeline stages, add additional registries, or integrate additional security scanning tools. The pattern scales across multiple namespaces and clusters by extending the ArgoCD sync logic.

How do I set up a complete CI/CD pipeline from GitHub to Kubernetes using ArgoCD and GitOps?

This diagram shows a production-ready GitOps workflow where GitHub Actions handles CI (testing and image building), ECR stores container images, and ArgoCD continuously syncs Kubernetes manifests from a Git repository to your cluster. The separation of concerns ensures code changes trigger automated tests and builds, while deployment state is always defined in Git, enabling rollbacks, audits, and
