CNCF-hosted Co-located Events Europe 2025

ArgoCD offers an extensive set of metrics that provide invaluable insights into its health and performance. However, as of now, there are no standardized guidelines or recommendations for defining Service Level Objectives (SLOs) or Service Level Indicators (SLIs) for ArgoCD. SLOs serve as a critical foundation for ensuring the reliability and quality of ArgoCD services, guiding teams to proactively address issues before they impact users.

In this talk, we will:
- Explore the wealth of metrics provided by ArgoCD components (API server, application controller, repo server, and more).
What is an SLO / SLI
- Propose actionable SLOs and SLIs tailored to ArgoCD operations, such as deployment success rates, reconciliation time, and resource health checks.
- Demonstrate how these SLOs can help identify early signs of service degradation, enabling teams to maintain high service quality.

In today’s dynamic cloud environments, system reliability is crucial, and downtime can be costly. Automated remediation powered by Argo Events introduces a paradigm shift in incident response, enabling real-time detection and resolution of issues. This session dives into how Argo Events can be leveraged to build event-driven workflows that automatically remediate failures, minimizing downtime and human intervention.

Attendees will learn:
- The architecture and capabilities of Argo Events.
- How to integrate Argo Events with other Kubernetes-native tools for seamless automation.
- Real-world examples of automated remediation pipelines.
- Best practices for ensuring secure and effective event-driven automation.

Whether you're managing microservices, Kubernetes clusters, or CI/CD pipelines, this session will equip you with the knowledge to improve system reliability through automation.
