CNCF-hosted Co-located Events North America 2024

With the right setup, you can bootstrap everything using Argo CD and good GitOps practices. With that power comes the ability to delete everything at once too! In this talk we’ll do a deep dive into how app deletion works in Argo CD and real scenarios on how teams have accidentally deleted a lot more than they planned. In the worst cases, items permanently stuck in deletion can prevent recovery. We’ll set finalizers, change deletion propagation and break the application set controller to create cascading failures and, better yet, show you how to avoid accidents. Every admin and Argo CD user should attend this talk.
