Quick Start
Non-HA:
kubectl create namespace argocd
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v1.8.0-rc1/manifests/install.yaml
HA:
kubectl create namespace argocd
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v1.8.0-rc1/manifests/ha/install.yaml
Mono-Repository Improvements
Enhanced performance during manifest generation from mono-repository - the repository that represents the
desired state of the whole cluster and contains hundreds of applications. The improved argocd-repo-server
now able to concurrently generate manifests from the same repository and for the same commit SHA. This
might provide 10x performance improvement of manifests generation.
Annotation Based Path Detection
The feature that allows specifying which source repository directories influence the application manifest generation
using the argocd.argoproj.io/manifest-generate-paths annotation. The annotation improves the Git webhook handler
behavior. The webhook avoids related applications reconciliation if no related files have been changed by the Git commit
and even allows to skip manifests generation for new commit by re-using generation manifests for the previous commit.
Horizontal Controller Scaling
This release allows scaling the argocd-application-controller horizontally. This allows you to manage as many Kubernetes clusters
as needed using a single Argo CD instance.
New Core Functionality Features
Besides performance improvements, Argo CD got a lot of usability enhancements and new features:
- Namespace and CRD creation #4354
- Unknown fields of built-in K8S types #1787
- Endpoints Diffing #1816
- Better compatibility with Helm Hooks #1816
- App-of-Apps Health Assessment #3781
Global Projects
This release makes it easy to manage an Argo CD that has hundreds of Projects. Instead of duplicating the same organization-wide rules in all projects
you can put such rules into one project and make this project “global” for all other projects. Rules defined in the global project are inherited by all
other projects and therefore don’t have to be duplicated. The sample below demonstrates how you can create a global project and specify which project should
inherit global project rules using Kubernetes labels.
User Interface Improvements
The Argo CD user interface is an important part of a project and we keep working hard on improving the user experience. Here is an incomplete list of implemented improvements:
- Improved Applications Filters #4622
- Git tags and branches autocompletion #4713
- Project Details Page #4400
- New version information panel #4376
- Progress Indicators #4411
- External links annotations #4380 and more!
Config Management Tools Enhancements
Bug fixes and under the hood changes
In addition to new features and enhancements, we’ve fixed more than 50 bugs and upgraded third-party components and libraries that Argo CD relies on.
