Argo - The Workflow Engine for Kubernetes

What is Argo?

Argo is an open source container-native workflow engine for developing and running applications on Kubernetes.

• Define workflows where each step in the workflow is a container.
• Run rich CI/CD pipelines using Docker-in-Docker, complex testing with built in artifact management, secret management and lifecycle management of dev/test resources.
• Run compute intensive jobs like data processing workflows or machine learning workflows in a fraction of the time using parallelize workflows.

Why Argo?

• Argo is designed from the ground up for containers without the baggage and limitations of legacy VM and server-based environments.
• Argo is cloud agnostic and can run on any kubernetes cluster. Today we support Kubernetes on Minikube, AWS and GKE.
• Argo with Kubernetes puts a cloud-scale supercomputer at your fingertips.
• With Argo, you don’t need to install or learn other tools such as Jenkins, Chef, Cloud Formation... 

Argo 2.0 Alpha

Argo 2.0 is a Kubernetes Custom Resource Definition (CRD) which can run workflows using kubectl commands. Argo 2.0 is coming in December 2017.
