advancedCI/CD & GitOps: Jenkins, GitHub Actions & ArgoCD
What is the difference between ArgoCD Synced/OutOfSync and Healthy/Degraded status?
Sync status reflects whether the cluster matches Git. Health status reflects whether deployed resources are functioning. A resource can be Synced (matches Git) but Degraded (Pods crashing), or OutOfSync (differs from Git) but Healthy (current state works). Both are independently meaningful.
