Argo Workflows is a cloud-native workflow engine designed to orchestrate batch jobs on Kubernetes. As a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) graduated project, it meets the highest standards for user adoption, security, and project maturity. This topic provides an overview of the Argo Workflows add-on, its installation steps, and release notes.
Overview
This add-on is built on the open-source Argo Workflows project and is enhanced for greater stability and performance. It enables you to deploy large-scale workflows in your clusters. Argo Workflows is ideal for standardized use cases, such as machine learning pipelines, autonomous driving simulations, gene sequencing tasks, batch data processing, CI/CD, and infrastructure automation.
Usage
For large-scale, high-performance workflow orchestration that requires zero maintenance, use Serverless Argo Workflows.
For instructions on submitting a workflow, see Manage workflows. For best practices, see Best practices.
