@xmudrii I have past experience working with Argo CD. I can create a design doc for the purpose taking into consideration Argo CD, Flux CD, and Flamingo ( aka the Flux subsystem for Argo).

Hi @sbdtu5498 , I was planing to start working on this issue today. Likewise, I'm also experienced mainly with ArgoCD. If you want to do help and prepare a summary of pros and cons for each solution that would be welcomed.

I guess we don't expect to have any complex deployment workflows. Our main goal is to keep maintenance as simple as possible. Thus, any of tools you've listed should work just fine.

I'm not sure if we're going to get service account with write permissions to commit directly to k8s.io repo, so we might now be able to setup flux with image refresh functionality.
