Looking at deployment methods for managing K8s apps and have seen both Argo and Flux cd pop up - Any recommendations for and against each ?

their similar, argo has a bigger ecosystem around it and more community support

Argo CD might be easier if you get started with GitOps as it has a UI, so Developers can see what is going on. I never used FluxCD outside a playground however

+1 for the ecosystem and community. And also ArgoCD has UI out of the box, while Flux has some custom third-party solutions

Think ArgoCD is the choice 😅

you can checkout thiis, they also provide repos for both 🙂 https://github.com/iits-consulting/argocd-vs-fluxcd-infrastructure https://github.com/iits-consulting/argocd-vs-fluxcd-application

Thanks , still very new to kubernetes and currently deploying helm charts via Terraform so think this will make a huge change

To provide a counterpoint, we’ve been big on flux for a bit. While doing our own internal comparisons, we found flux simpler to understand, easier to setup, and very focused. It did all we needed without needing any extra tooling around it

Ditto we went for flux, and gitlab and azure AKS going all in with flux as well has helped for us.
