How ArgoCD Sync Waves Cause Deployment Ordering Fiascos
from DevOps Daily with Fexingo: CI/CD, Kubernetes, and Modern Software Operations Hosted by Fexingo
ArgoCD's sync waves are a powerful mechanism for ordering Kubernetes resource deployments, but misconfigurations can lead to cascading failures. In this episode, we break down a real-world scenario where a team's database migration ran after the application pods started, causing a ten-minute outage. We explain how sync waves work, the difference between waves and phases, and common mistakes like missing wave dependencies or using the wrong wave number. We also cover how to test wave ordering in a staging environment and why you should always set a long timeout for wave groups. If you use GitOps in production, this episode will save you from a preventable incident. #ArgoCD #GitOps #Kubernetes #CI/CD #DevOps #SyncWave #Deployment #InfrastructureAsCode #ContinuousDeployment #CloudNative #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #DevOpsDaily #K8s #ApplicationDeployment #PostIncidentReview Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
