01 - Install Argo Rollouts

Argo Rollouts is a Kubernetes controller and set of CRDs which provide advanced deployment capabilities such as blue-green, canary, canary analysis, experimentation, and progressive delivery features to Kubernetes.

Official documentation :

• https://argoproj.github.io/argo-rollouts/

Install with helm

Helm github repo :

• https://github.com/argoproj/argo-helm/tree/master/charts/argo-rollouts

First fetch the Chart :

helm repo add argo https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm
helm fetch --untar argo/argo-rollouts

And then install it :

helm upgrade -i argo-rollouts -n argocd argo-rollouts/ --set dashboard.enabled=true --set metrics.enabled=true --set metrics.serviceMonitor.enabled=true

If you want to see the dashboard, you need to expose argo-rollouts-dashboard service with ingress/route. You can find Traefik IngressRoute example here

If you use ArgoCD for deployment, you can override values for ServiceMonitor:

controller:
  metrics:
    enabled: true
    serviceMonitor:
      enabled: true
      additionalLabels:
        release: prom

Install kubectl plugin

You can also install the kubectl plugin :

curl -LO https://github.com/argoproj/argo-rollouts/releases/latest/download/kubectl-argo-rollouts-linux-amd64
chmod +x ./kubectl-argo-rollouts-linux-amd64
sudo mv ./kubectl-argo-rollouts-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/kubectl-argo-rollouts

And check the version

kubectl argo rollouts version
