Use Cases & Benefits
- Provides advanced deployment strategies like blue-green, canary, and progressive delivery for Kubernetes using custom controllers and CRDs.
- Enables fine-grained traffic control, automated rollbacks, and metric-driven promotion to reduce deployment risks beyond standard rolling updates.
- Use for implementing safe canary deployments with automated analysis and rollback in Kubernetes clusters.
- Use for integrating with service meshes and ingress controllers to gradually shift traffic during application updates.
- Use for running experiments and progressive delivery workflows that require custom metric queries and manual judgment in production.

From the README
Argo Rollouts is a Kubernetes controller and set of CRDs which provide advanced deployment capabilities such as blue-green, canary, canary analysis, experimentation, and progressive delivery features to Kubernetes.
Argo Rollouts (optionally) integrates with ingress controllers and service meshes, leveraging their traffic shaping abilities to gradually shift traffic to the new version during an update. Additionally, Rollouts can query and interpret metrics from various providers to verify key KPIs and drive automated promotion or rollback during an update.
Follow the full getting started guide to walk through creating and then updating a rollout object.
Kubernetes Deployments provides the
RollingUpdatestrategy which provide a basic set of safety guarantees (readiness probes) during an update. However the rolling update strategy faces many limitations:For these reasons, in large scale high-volume production environments, a rolling update is often considered too risky of an update procedure since it provides no control over the blast radius, may rollout too aggressively, and provides no automated rollback upon failures.
