What is Argo Workflows – Templates, Use Cases and Tutorial

Argo Workflows is a Kubernetes-native workflow execution engine that allows users to define workflows as a series of parallel steps, each running in a container. It is designed to be lightweight, scalable, and easy to use while offering robust functionality for demanding workflow configurations. The tool can automate various scenarios such as batch processing, data ingestion, machine learning model training, and infrastructure automation. Argo Workflows uses the Kubernetes CRD (Workflow resource) to define and configure workflows, which are then executed by creating containers inside the cluster. It supports features like conditional steps, timeouts, retries, suspend and resume, and scheduling using cron syntax. The tool can be used in conjunction with other Argo projects such as Argo CD for CI/CD operations.
