Chapter 1. Red Hat OpenShift GitOps release notes

With this update, you can use a custom must-gather tool to collect diagnostic information for project-level resources, cluster-level resources, and Red Hat OpenShift GitOps components. This tool provides the debugging information about the cluster associated with Red Hat OpenShift GitOps, which you can share with the Red Hat Support team for analysis. GITOPS-2797

With this update, you can add support to progressive delivery using Argo Rollouts. Currently, the supported traffic manager is only Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh. GITOPS-959

With this update, the support for the following deprecated sso and dex fields extends until the upcoming Red Hat OpenShift GitOps GA v1.10.0 release:

Currently, the Argo CD does not read the Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates from the path specified in the argocd-tls-certs-cm config map resulting in the x509: certificate signed by unknown authority error.

Workaround: Perform the following steps:

Currently, Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.8.4 is not available in the latest channel of OpenShift Container Platform 4.10 and 4.11. The latest channel is taken by GitOps 1.9.z, which is only released on OpenShift Container Platform 4.12 and later versions.

As a workaround, switch to the gitops-1.8 channel to get the new update. GITOPS-3158

Before this update, when you configured Dex using the .spec.dex parameter and tried to log in to the Argo CD UI by using the LOG IN VIA OPENSHIFT option, you were not able to log in. This update fixes the issue.

With this update, you can add support for the ApplicationSet Progressive Rollout Strategy feature. Using this feature, you can enhance the ArgoCD ApplicationSet resource to embed a rollout strategy for a progressive application resource update after you modify the ApplicationSet spec or Application templates. When you enable this feature, applications are updated in a declarative order instead of simultaneously. GITOPS-956

With this update, the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator and the kam CLI are now available to use on ARM architecture on OpenShift Container Platform. GITOPS-1688

With this update, you can pass command arguments to the repo server deployment using the Argo CD CR. GITOPS-2445

For example:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: ArgoCD
metadata:
  name: example-argocd
spec:
  repo:
    extraRepoCommandArgs:
      - --max.combined.directory.manifests.size
      - 10M

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: ArgoCD
metadata:
  name: example-argocd
spec:
  repo:
    extraRepoCommandArgs:
      - --max.combined.directory.manifests.size
      - 10M

Before this update, you could set the ARGOCD_GIT_MODULES_ENABLED environment variable only on the openshift-gitops-repo-server pod and not on the ApplicationSet Controller pod. As a result, when using the Git generator, Git submodules were cloned during the generation of child applications because the variable was missing from the ApplicationSet Controller environment. In addition, if the credentials required to clone these submodules were not configured in ArgoCD, the application generation failed. This update fixes the issue; you can now add any environment variables such as ArgoCD_GIT_MODULES_ENABLED to the ApplicationSet Controller pod using the Argo CD CR. The ApplicationSet Controller pod then successfully generates child applications from the cloned repository and no submodule is cloned in the process. GITOPS-2399

For example:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: ArgoCD
metadata:
  name: example-argocd
  labels:
    example: basic
spec:
  applicationSet:
    env:
     - name: ARGOCD_GIT_MODULES_ENABLED
       value: "true"

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: ArgoCD
metadata:
  name: example-argocd
  labels:
    example: basic
spec:
  applicationSet:
    env:
     - name: ARGOCD_GIT_MODULES_ENABLED
       value: "true"

With this update, you can customize resource behavior using the following additional subkeys:

GITOPS-1561

With this update, you can create applications, which are managed by the same control plane Argo CD instance, in any namespace in the same cluster. As an administrator, perform the following actions to enable this update:

With this update, Argo CD supports the Server-Side Apply feature, which helps users to perform the following tasks:
