Kubernetes - Advanced Deployment Patterns

Consider this ArgoCD Application manifest snippet:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: demo-app
spec:
  source:
    repoURL: 'https://github.com/example/demo.git'
    path: 'deploy'
  destination:
    server: 'https://kubernetes.default.svc'
    namespace: 'default'
  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: true
      selfHeal: true

What will ArgoCD do when syncing this application?

AAutomatically apply changes, delete resources removed from Git, and fix drift

BRequire manual approval before applying any changes

COnly monitor changes but not apply them automatically

DSync changes but never delete resources even if removed from Git

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze syncPolicy
The manifest has automated sync with prune: true and selfHeal: true.
Step 2: Understand effects
Automated sync means ArgoCD applies changes automatically. Prune deletes resources removed from Git. SelfHeal fixes any drift.
Final Answer:
Automatically apply changes, delete resources removed from Git, and fix drift -> Option A
Quick Check:
Automated sync with prune and selfHeal means full auto management [OK]

Quick Trick: Automated sync with prune and selfHeal means full auto deployment [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming manual approval is needed despite automated sync
Thinking prune only applies on manual sync
Believing selfHeal disables automatic fixes
