Kubernetes - Advanced Deployment Patterns

You created an ArgoCD app but it shows OutOfSync status even after you committed changes to Git. Which of the following is the most likely cause?

AThe app's syncPolicy is not set to automated, so manual sync is needed

BThe Git repository URL is incorrect and unreachable

CThe Kubernetes cluster is down and cannot apply changes

DThe app name in ArgoCD does not match the Git repo name

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand OutOfSync status
OutOfSync means cluster state differs from Git repo state.
Step 2: Check syncPolicy effect
If syncPolicy is not automated, ArgoCD won't auto-apply changes; manual sync is required.
Final Answer:
The app's syncPolicy is not set to automated, so manual sync is needed -> Option A
Quick Check:
OutOfSync + no automated sync = manual sync needed [OK]

Quick Trick: OutOfSync often means no automated sync set [OK]
