Chapter 1. Configuring resource quota or requests

With the Argo CD custom resource (CR), you can create, update, and delete resource requests and limits for Argo CD workloads.

You can create Argo CD custom resource workloads with resource requests and limits. This is required when you want to deploy the Argo CD instance in a namespace that is configured with resource quotas.

The following Argo CD instance deploys the Argo CD workloads such as Application Controller, ApplicationSet Controller, Dex, Redis,Repo Server, and Server with resource requests and limits. You can also create the other workloads with resource requirements in the same manner. 

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1beta1
kind: ArgoCD
metadata:
  name: example

  server:
    resources:
      limits:
        cpu: 500m
        memory: 256Mi
      requests:
        cpu: 125m
        memory: 128Mi
    route:
      enabled: true

You can update the resource requirements for all or any of the workloads post installation.

Procedure

Update the Application Controller resource requests of an Argo CD instance in the Argo CD namespace. 

oc -n argocd patch argocd example --type='json' -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/controller/resources/requests/cpu", "value":"1"}]'

oc -n argocd patch argocd example --type='json' -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/controller/resources/requests/memory", "value":"512Mi"}]'
