How to Install Argo CD on Kubernetes with Helm and Understand Every Core Component

Install Argo CD with Helm: add the Argo Helm repo, create an argocd namespace, and install the argo/argo-cd chart.

Main Argo CD components are the server, application controller, repo server, Redis, and optional services like Dex, Notifications, and ApplicationSet.

Argo CD is a GitOps continuous delivery controller for Kubernetes.

It compares the desired state stored in Git with the live cluster state, detecting drift and offering sync to the desired state.

Argo CD focuses on deployment by reading Kubernetes manifests or Helm charts and is not typically a CI system that builds images or runs unit tests.
