What it does

Argo Events is an event-driven automation framework that allows founders to automate Kubernetes workflows based on external events, such as GitHub commits or schedule timers.

Install / run

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-events/stable/manifests/install.yaml

When to use it

•When automating deployment workflows based on code changes in GitHub
•When triggering Kubernetes jobs on a schedule or cron timer
•When integrating external events, such as message queues or HTTP requests, into Kubernetes workflows

Quick start

1Apply the Argo Events controller and sensor configurations using the command: kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-events/stable/manifests/install.yaml
2Create an EventSource configuration file (e.g., eventsource.yaml) to define the external event source, such as a GitHub webhook
3Apply the EventSource configuration using the command: kubectl apply -f eventsource.yaml
4Create an EventHandler configuration file (e.g., eventhandler.yaml) to define the Kubernetes workflow to trigger on the external event
5Apply the EventHandler configuration using the command: kubectl apply -f eventhandler.yaml

Ready-to-paste prompt

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-events/stable/examples/github-webhook.yaml

Heads up: The Argo Events controller requires a Kubernetes cluster version 1.16 or later, and the sensor and controller components must be installed and running before creating EventSource and EventHandler configurations
