Component Description [#component-description]

Argo CD is a GitOps continuous delivery platform for deploying and synchronizing Kubernetes applications.

Why It Is Used [#why-it-is-used]

In BullSequana AI Runtime, Argo CD helps keep deployed platform state aligned with version-controlled configuration, making delivery more automated, auditable, and repeatable. It is the preferred deployment control point for platform components and use cases that follow the GitOps model.

Interacts With [#interacts-with]

* `GitLab` and `Harbor`, which must be in place first so Argo CD has manifests, charts, and images to deploy.
* `Keycloak`, for SSO and access control in the Argo CD UI.
* `NGINX` and `External DNS`, to expose Argo CD through the platform ingress layer.
* All Runtime, CoreAI, and ProAI components, because Argo CD is the GitOps delivery engine that synchronizes their desired state.
