What is Argo?
Argo is a family of open-source Kubernetes projects. Argo CD compares deployed application state with a desired state in Git and supports synchronization. Argo Workflows orchestrates container-based workflows; Argo Rollouts addresses progressive delivery. These are separate components, not a single CI platform.

Key capabilities
- Argo CD: Track desired application state in Git and reconcile cluster deployments.
- Argo Workflows: Run container-native workflows on Kubernetes.
- Argo Rollouts: Control progressive application releases where needed.
GitOps delivery, workflow orchestration and progressive rollout are distinct Argo project scopes.
Choose Argo CD for Kubernetes deployment reconciliation after a build system has produced an artifact. Add Workflows or Rollouts only when their distinct job orchestration or rollout controls are required.
A pilot should show what happens after a Git change, after an out-of-band cluster change and during a failed deployment; ownership of each response matters.
