Learn how to use Argo CD’s sync-wave annotation to enforce deterministic apply order for Kubernetes manifests, with step‑by‑step instructions, verification steps, and recovery guidance.
Goal: Zero‑Downtime Migration with Sync Wave When migrating a small application, the argocd.argoproj.io/sync-wave annotation is often used to orchestrate resource updates so that new components are deployed before old ones are terminated. The intended workflow is to assign lower wave numbers to resources that should appear first, wait until those resources r
