Supported Use Cases

The Octopus and Argo CD integration supports a variety of application configurations. This page covers how each step behaves for different application shapes, and any constraints to be aware of.

Constraints

  • Octopus updates content in the repositories referenced by your application. It does not update pinned TargetRevisions in your Application.yaml.
    • If your application specifies a constant TargetRevision, Octopus treats it as a branch and will fail to push back to your repository.
  • Helm sources that directly reference a chart from a Helm repository or OCI feed are read-only and can’t be updated by Octopus.
    • If your application is represented as a Helm chart in a directory, Octopus can update the directory content in the application’s repository.
  • Pull requests can be created for GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps hosted repositories (e.g. *.github.com, *.gitlab.com).
    • Please let us know which other providers you would like to see supported.
  • Multiple source applications require Argo CD 2.14.0 or above (corresponding to the introduction of named sources in Argo CD).
    • Single source applications are supported in all versions of Argo CD.
