ArgoCD Sync Waves, Resource Hooks, and Sync Options#

ArgoCD sync is not just “apply all manifests at once.” You can control the order resources are created, run pre- and post-deployment tasks, restrict when syncs can happen, and tune how resources are applied. This is where ArgoCD moves from basic GitOps to production-grade deployment orchestration.

Sync Waves#

Sync waves control the order in which resources are applied. Every resource has a wave number (default 0). Resources in lower waves are applied and must be healthy before higher waves begin.
