From YouTube: ArgoCon '21 - Journey of the Argonauts (Pratik Wadher)
Description
Pratik has been part of Argo since the very beginning and will take you through a retrospect of the journey so far, share some less known details about the project and offer a glimpse into what the future may hold.
A
Up
first,
I'm
joined
by
pratik
pratik
is
an
svp
at
intuit
and
former
ceo
and
co-founder
of
atletics,
the
incubator
of
argo.
Previously
he
was
responsible
for
product
development
operations
and
customer
support
at
ten
tri
and
data
domain,
where
his
teams
establish
themselves
at
market
leaders
for
enterprise
storage,
quality,
usability
and
customer
satisfaction.
B
So
again
welcome
to
the
argo
community
and
apologize
for
that.
I'm
still
trying
to
get
a
hang
of
this
thing.
So
I'll
start
at
the
beginning.
You
know
we're
starting
the
argo
journey,
we're
starting.
We
talked
about
the
four
projects
that
we
have.
We
have
argo
workflows,
cd
events
and
rollouts,
as
I've
just
mentioned,
and
you
know
going
back
to
when
we
started,
as
I
mentioned,
in
2010
to
2015,
kubernetes
and
containerization
were
driving
a
major
shift
in
the
application
delivery
market.
B
B
So,
let's
start
with
argo,
why
argo?
Well
when
we
decided
to
open
source
argo?
There
was
one
thing
we
wanted.
We
wanted
a
memorable
name
that
would
tie
into
the
kubernetes
nautical
theme
and
after
a
long
search
many
discussions,
we
decided
to
name
it
after
the
ship,
argo
which
carried
the
greek,
mythological,
hero,
jason
and
the
argonauts
on
their
quest
for
the
golden
fleece,
the
name
and
the
story
behind
it
felt
natural
to
what
we
were
doing.
B
B
After
a
series
of
meetings,
starting
at
kubecon,
intuit
decided
to
acquire
platix
to
build
the
company's
modern
sas
platform.
This
is
the
platform
which
powers
all
intuit
products.
Today
all
products
are
built
and
run
on
this
platform
today
and
in
january,
2018
marked
the
beginning
of
intuit's
role
in
building
the
argo
community.
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
So
in
may
29
team
at
kubecon
eu
we
launched
argo
rolaps
nargo
rolox
is
a
progressive
delivery
solution
that
can
do
blue-green
canary
deployments,
with
automated
analysis
now
think
about
the
possibilities
of
these.
Yes,
we
all
do
blue
green.
We
do
canary
deployments,
but
tying
it
to
an
automated
analysis
system
in
the
back
end
to
trigger
rollbacks
or
growth,
think
about
tying
it
to
a
service,
mesh
ecosystem
and
actually
starting
to
do
traffic
shaping
along
the
way.
B
This
has
lots
of
lots
of
possibilities
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
where
we
go
with
this
next
now,
as
we
open
source
more
and
more,
you
know,
and
we
start
getting
traction
in
the
community.
The
community
also
gains
momentum.
People
get
to
know
about
it.
We
start
to
engage
more,
we
start
to
partner
more,
and
this
was
noticed.
B
B
And
as
the
community
grew,
argo
is
also
accepted
by
cncf
as
an
incubating
project
maturity
level
in
april
2020.
This
was
a
pivotal
moment
for
expanding
partnerships,
building
governance,
compliance.
Argo
is
growing
up
now
and
we
all
had
to
learn
very
quickly
how
to
actually
manage
a
project
at
this
scale
that
was
growing
at
this
scale.
B
B
B
B
B
B
Together
with
red
hat,
we
formed
a
bootstrap
committee
to
give
argo
end
users
access
to
enterprise,
support
and
solutions,
as
the
argo
project
was
growing,
as
the
community
was
growing,
I
would
I
would
get
a
lot
of
questions
coming
in
from
users.
End
users
asking
me
if
intuit
was
able
to
actually
provide
support
and
to
actually
work
with
them
for
their
own
custom
solutions.
B
Of
course
we
did
not
have
that
capability,
and
this
is
why
we
say
we
looked
at
all
the
external
companies
and
partnerships
that
were
beginning
to
see.
You
know
to
grow
that
community
and
actually
provide
that
platform
for
anyone
that
wanted
to
use
our
goal.
So
since
then,
our
corporate
partnership
community
has
expanded
with
multiple
maintainer
companies
behind
it,
including
red
hat
blackrock
code,
fresh
acuity,
to
complement
our
large
community
of
individual
contributors,
and
there
are
much
more
coming
earlier.
This
year
we
also
submitted
a
cncf
proposal
to
make
argo
a
graduating
project.
B
B
Now
it's
been
an
awesome
journey,
full
of
many
many
lessons
learned
and
personally,
when
I
look
back
at
this,
I
came
in
with
no
experience
of
building
an
open
source
community
learning
about
how
to
run
an
open
source
project
and
there's
been
lots
of
lessons
that
we've
learned
along
the
way.
First
of
all,
don't
underestimate
the
time
and
effort
it
takes
to
build
a
community.
B
I
remember
my
first
kubecon
we
had
one
of
our
first
external
partners
and
we
were
all
sitting
in
a
plane
going
back
from
kubecon
and
we
were
sending
messages
to
each
other
on
the
plane,
because
we
had
just
found
this
new
customer
and
she
was
so
engaged
about
learning
more
about
argo.
B
B
You
don't
start
out
on
your
own,
you
build
bridges,
you
build
the
relationships
and
look
at
what's
going
on
before
you
and
you
leverage
that
the
third
thing
that's
I
wish
someone
had
told
me
this
was
partner
early
to
get
the
commercial
support
that
people
are
going
to
need
because,
as
companies
come
in
as
companies
start
using
this,
there
is
definitely
a
need
to
have
a
support
infrastructure,
and
I
wish
we
had
done
that
early.
But
I
love
what
was
going
on
right
now
and
at.
B
Engaging
with
the
community
is
rewarding.
I
stand
before
you
today
very
humbled
to
see
everyone
here
see
all
the
number
of
people,
all
the
partnerships
and
everyone
going
on,
and
it's
just
amazing.
Thank
you
now.
Intuit
is
just
one
example
of
end
user
companies
who
are
taking
full
advantage
of
argo
to
accelerate
developer
velocity.
B
With
a
thousand
deployments
per
day,
we
use
argo
cd
to
manage
both
clusters
and
services.
Following
the
gear
ops
model,
we
run
over
4
000
ml
workflows
daily
in
both
our
ml
and
data
processing
platforms,
and
this
is
all
in
production
in
all
over
the
apps
that
you're,
mostly
familiar
with
so
after
running
kubernetes
at
scale
in
production
for
many
years,
I'm
proud
of
how
far
we've
come
on
our
journey,
but
more
than
that,
I'm
excited
about
how
we'll
work
together
to
drive
the
future
innovation
that
we
need
with
this
community.
B
There
are
four
key
areas
that
I
expect
to
see.
Advancements
in
one
kubernetes
is
still
hard
at
intuit.
I
see
that
on
a
daily
basis
right
we
have
front-end
developers
that
still
need
to
know
about
kubernetes
and
we'd
like
to
remove
that.
So
we
need
to
abstract
kubernetes
more
from
the
application
developers.
B
B
B
B
We
need
more,
real-time,
highly
scalable
tools
and
platforms
to
provide
actionable
insights
into
the
infrastructure
and
the
application
issues.
And,
lastly,
we
recognize
the
critical
importance
and
value
of
collaboration
with
other
cncf
open
source
projects.
I
mentioned
service
bash,
that's
a
core
area
that
intuit
is
currently
focused
on.
As
we
start
thinking
about,
you
know
tying
the
other
parts
of
our
systems
together.
B
So
with
this
you
know
I'd
like
to
close
one
with
a
huge
thank
you
to
all
of
you
argonauts.
It's
been
quite
a
journey
over
the
past
four
years.
We're
grateful
for
your
contributions
to
date
and
really
excited
to
see
what
the
future
holds.
As
we
take
argo
to
the
next
phase,
I'm
excited
to
see
how
this
day
plays
out,
but,
above
all,
join
us
join
us
on
this.
B
A
That
was
amazing
critique.
I
loved
hearing
the
background,
the
inception
story
of
how
argo
got
its
name
and
and
where
we
are,
and
we've
got
some
questions
in
the
chat.
If
you
have
a
second,
some
people
would
like
to
know
what
you're
most
excited
about
on
this
argo
journey
and
where
we're
headed.
B
I
think
sarah,
as
I
mentioned
you
know,
I
mentioned
the
four
key
areas
that
I
want
to
focus
on
now,
but
in
addition
to
that
you
know,
I
think.
B
B
A
That's
awesome,
so
I
I
heard
you
say
earlier
in
your
presentation
that
argo
is
up
for
graduation
soon,
and
people
are
wondering
if
you
have
a
hard
date
on
that
they're
they're
really
excited
to
know.
What's
going
on
with
that.
B
So
argo
is,
is
going
through
the
cncf
technical
oversight
committee.
We
have
submitted
argo
for
graduation
and
there
is
a
process
and
a
method
and
and
we're
we're
getting
through
it.
So
you
know,
as
soon
as
I
know,
you'll
all
know.
A
That's
amazing,
so
I'd
like
to
close
out
with
telling
everyone
in
the
community
you
know.
Thank
you,
like
pratik,
said,
join
us
back
in
the
chat
here
in
the
platform
or
you
can
join
any
of
the
cncf
argo
slack
channels.
We've
got
a
community
of
people
that
are
waiting
to
chat
with
you
and
pratik.
Thanks
again,.
