Migrating Helm deployments to ArgoCD (GitOps-style)
This page is a work-in-progress. Stuff might change, and probably will.
There are reasons to do this. Generally it's more pleasant to manage this stuff by Argo, especially if you have another related resources which are NOT managed by Helm. For example, we have cert-manager installed by hand, but the ClusterIssuer and certs themselves are just deployed by hand.
Having all this stuff under Argo is handier, and also lags less for large environments. Helm itself is not fast in this matter.
The approach to go is a wrapper chart, and then creating an appropriate application for Argo. App-of-apps is probably the correct way to deploy the applications semi-coherently. We are leaning towards managing everything via git here, so everything is in a nice cool place.
