Prep Course - Certified Argo Project Associate (CAPA)

The Argo Project is at the forefront of cloud-native application delivery, workflow automation, progressive delivery, and event-driven processing for Kubernetes. The CAPA course is your complete, practical roadmap to mastering every corner of Argo—from ArgoCD and Workflows to Rollouts and Events. Whether you’re looking to optimize deployments, automate complex pipelines, or trigger workflows on any event—this immersive course will get you hands-on, guide you to certification, and empower you to operate Kubernetes the Argo way!

Why Argo?

Argo's suite of tools—ArgoCD, Workflows, Rollouts, and Events—powers some of the most advanced Kubernetes-based platforms. DevOps engineers, SREs, and platform teams rely on Argo for seamless GitOps workflows, flexible release strategies, bulletproof automation, and event-driven cloud-native operations. Argo skills are a “must-have” for accelerating your career and unlocking next-level productivity.

What You’ll Learn:

• Mastering ArgoCD: Modern Kubernetes Continuous Delivery
  
  • What, Why & How of ArgoCD: Demystify ArgoCD with practical insights into its purpose, architecture, and value in real Kubernetes delivery.
  • Core Concepts & Features: Learn declarative GitOps, reconciliation, projects, applications, health, sync options, and more.
  • Installation & Setup: Step-by-step labs to install ArgoCD, configure the server, CLI, and create your first GitOps applications both via UI and CLI.
  • Application, Project, and Deployment Deep Dive: Go beyond the basics—explore multi-cluster deployments, HELM, ApplicationSets, cluster generators, rollback, sync strategies (hooks, waves, ignoreDifferences), advanced health checks, manual and automated synchronization, and robust project management.
• Orchestrate Any Pipeline with Argo Workflows
  
  • Workflows Demystified: Unlock the full potential of Argo Workflows for automating anything in Kubernetes—CI/CD pipelines, ML workflows, data processing.
  • Architecture & Installation: Install and operate Workflows on your cluster, plug into Minio, and persist workflow artifacts.
  • Workflow Definition Mastery: Master templates (script, step, container, suspend), parameters, artifacts, conditional logic, outputs, retries, timeouts, and more.
  • Visualize and Streamline Workflow Execution: Create DAGs for complex dependencies, maximize parallelism, and reuse via WorkflowTemplates—backed by hands-on demos and real-world labs.
• Progressive Delivery with Argo Rollouts
  
  • Modern Release Strategies: Grasp key concepts, terminology, and architectural insights into Argo Rollouts.
  • Strategies for Zero-Downtime Deployments: Hands-on labs with rolling, recreate, blue/green, and canary releases—transition Kubernetes Deployments to advanced Rollouts with robust health checks.
  • Automated Analysis & Safety Nets: Learn to define and interpret AnalysisTemplates, AnalysisRuns, health assessment, and progressive delivery practices with examples and labs.
• Event-Driven Automation with Argo Events
  
  • Event-Driven Ops, Kubernetes Style: Learn the core architecture, install Argo Events, and trigger workflows and resources on virtually anything—webhooks, storage, cron/calendar, and more.
  • Building Event Pipelines: Configure NATS EventBus, define sensors and event-sources, set up RBAC, parameterize triggers, filter events, and integrate with Minio—all reinforced through interactive labs.
• Certification Preparation
  Throughout the course, you’ll engage with focused, real-world labs and scenario-driven demos. Upon completion, consolidate your knowledge with tailored practice exams, ensuring you’re fully equipped to ace the Certified Argo Project Associate (CAPA) exam.
