Try It Out
In this example we will deploy Argo Rollouts on a Kubernetes cluster using the Minimus Argo Rollouts Helm chart. Argo Rollouts provides advanced deployment strategies including canary and blue-green deployments for your Kubernetes workloads.
Step 1: Start Cluster
If you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. Deployment instructions
Step 2: Create Namespace
Create a namespace:
kubectl create ns argo-rollouts
Step 3: Deploy the Helm Chart
Deploy the Minimus Helm chart:
helm install my-argo-rollouts oci://helm.mini.dev/argo-rollouts \
--version 2.40.10 \
-n argo-rollouts \
--wait
If you want to override the chart's defaults, go to the Values tab and save a copy locally with your changes. Deploy the chart with your overrides using -f values.yaml:
helm install my-argo-rollouts oci://helm.mini.dev/argo-rollouts \
--version 2.40.10 \
-f values.yaml \
-n argo-rollouts \
--wait
By default, the controller manages Rollouts via CRDs and has no web UI. Below is a values.yaml example that enables the dashboard on port 3100 so you can inspect canary steps and promote or abort rollouts without the kubectl argo rollouts CLI:
argo-rollouts:
imagePullSecrets:
- name: minimus-registry
controller:
image:
registry: reg.mini.dev
repository: argo-rollouts-fips
tag: "v1.9.0"
dashboard:
enabled: true
service:
type: ClusterIP
port: 3100
ingress:
enabled: false
ClusterIP exposes the dashboard only inside the cluster (for example via kubectl port-forward). Set ingress.enabled: true when you want a hostname for team access.
Step 4: Verify Argo Rollouts is Running
Confirm the chart deployed successfully and Argo Rollouts started:
kubectl get pods -n argo-rollouts
You should see output similar to:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
my-argo-rollouts-argo-rollouts-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 2m
my-argo-rollouts-argo-rollouts-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 2m
Step 5: Test Argo Rollouts Controller
Verify that the Argo Rollouts CRDs are installed and the controller is operational:
kubectl get crd rollouts.argoproj.io
You should see the Rollout CRD listed.
Next, create a sample Rollout to verify the controller processes it:
kubectl apply -n argo-rollouts -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Rollout
metadata:
name: test-rollout
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: test-rollout
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: test-rollout
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx:stable
ports:
- containerPort: 80
strategy:
canary:
steps:
- setWeight: 100
EOF
Check the Rollout status:
kubectl get rollout test-rollout -n argo-rollouts
Clean up the test Rollout:
kubectl delete rollout test-rollout -n argo-rollouts
Step 6: Clean Up
Uninstall the chart and delete the namespace to remove all resources:
helm uninstall my-argo-rollouts -n argo-rollouts
kubectl delete namespace argo-rollouts
