Automate Image Updates in Kubernetes with ArgoCD Image Updater!
🚀 Automate Image Updates in Kubernetes with ArgoCD Image Updater! 🚀
I recently integrated ArgoCD Image Updater into the Kuberise.io project, to automate the image updates in Kubernetes deployments. This tool is useful, especially in development environments and it can simplify your workflow:
ArgoCD Image Updater watches for newer versions of container images in your registry and can automatically deploy them without needing to manually update YAML manifests or Helm values. In dev, this saves time by ensuring your environment is always running the latest version without extra steps.
For production setups, you can control updates by monitoring a specific tag in semantic versioning (semver) format, or any other tag you like.
Here’s how it works:
- Automatic Updates: Developers no longer need to submit PRs just to update image tags for new versions. ArgoCD Image Updater tracks the latest image versions and keeps your deployments up-to-date automatically.
- Version Tracking: The tool writes the latest image version to a file in your repo, making it easy to reference and keeping the manifest code up-to-date.
- Easy Integration: If you're using Kuberise.io to set up your internal developer platform on Kubernetes, enabling ArgoCD Image Updater can be done just in few steps. Read this page for more details.
If you're tired of creating a PR to update image tags with every new release, this tool is a must-have! And if you're interested in Kubernetes platform architecture and how Kuberise.io makes it simpler, try Kuberise.io today
