v2.1 Release Blog

Argo CD Core

Argo CD Core - lightweight Argo CD distribution that packages only core GitOps features and relies
on Kubernetes API/RBAC to power UI and CLI.

Core Features

• The synchronization process became much much faster and requires significantly less memory.
• An additional caching that ensures that each repository's target revisions are queried only once per
  reconciliation cycle. This dramatically reduces the number of Git requests.
• Improved Diffing Customizations: use JQ path expressions to exclude required fields from the diffing.
• Health assessment support for new CRDs: introduced health assessment of CRDs from trident.netapp.io,
  elasticsearch.k8s.elastic.co, cluster.x-k8s.io, and minio.min.io API groups.

Improved Settings

A set of changes had been implemented to simplify configuring Argo CD.

• Simplified Repository Registration: you no longer need to modify the argocd-cm ConfigMap to register a
  new Git or Helm repository.
• Enhanced Resource Customizations: the resource.customizations key has been deprecated in favor of
  a separate ConfigMap key per resource.
• Reference secret values from any Kubernetes secret: starting v2.1 you can use sensitive data stored in
  any Kubernetes secret to configure Argo CD.
• Simplify parametrization of Argo CD server processes: an additional optional ConfigMap argocd-cmd-params-cm
  has been introduced.

Refreshed User Interface

• Enhanced and more consistent filters on Applications List and Applications Details pages.
• Status bar on the Application List page.
• The redesigned search box on the Application List page and more.

The argocd-util CLI deprecation

The argocd CLI and now available under argocd admin subcommand.
