9.1 Orphaned Resources

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This lab contains demonstrates how to find orphaned top-level resources with Argo CD. Orphaned resources are not managed by Argo CD and could be potentially removed from cluster.

Task 9.1.1: Create application and project

argocd app create argo-$USER --repo https://github.com/acend/argocd-training-examples.git --path 'example-app' --dest-server https://kubernetes.default.svc --dest-namespace $USER
argocd app sync argo-$USER

Create new Argo CD project without restrictions for Git source repository (–src) nor destination cluster/namespace (–dest)

argocd proj create --src "*" --dest "*,*" apps-$USER

Enable visualization and monitoring of Orphaned Resources for the newly created project apps-<username>

This Lab only works on your local machine.

Backup and Restore

As ArgoCD holds the whole state in native Kubernetes objects it’s quite straightforward to make a backup and restore it in case of a disaster recovery.

ArgoCD provides the utility argocd-util which is used by ArgoCD internally. The functions export and import can be used for backup and restore of a ArgoCD instance.

As the tool is contained inside the ArgoCD server image you just can execute it from inside the container.
