This feature, led by Blake Pettersson from Akuity, allows organizations to store and distribute deployment configurations using the same registries they use for container images. "As OCI registries have more frequently been used to store content aside from container images, more and more projects have been adding support for using OCI as a storage mechanism," the announcement explains. The OCI support enhances security and portability by enabling Argo CD to pull Kubernetes manifests packaged as OCI artifacts from any OCI-compliant registry
A new platform named kubriX has been launched into the developer community, claiming to create a fully functional Internal Developer Platform (IDP) without extensive custom development. The platform, developed by contributors including developer advocate Artem Lajko, who has written an extensive post about it, integrates established tools such as Argo CD, Kargo, Backstage, and Keycloak into what its creators describe as a ready-to-use solution for teams seeking to implement a modern IDP.
ArgoCD's UI and CLI are designed for users with extensive technical background, which limits access to GitOps workflows for less technical stakeholders. This increases reliance on DevOps engineers.
