It uses the Octopus AI Assistant Chrome extension to scaffold the project via a prompt, an Argo CD Rollout manifest with Octopus template syntax to conditionally set canary weights per environment, and kubectl argo rollouts commands to promote or abort the rollout. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I set up a canary deployment with Argo CD Rollouts across multiple environments in Octopus? Create a Kubernetes target and project referencing a lifecycle with phases like Development, Prod 10, Prod 50, and Prod 100. The Argo CD Rollout manifest uses Octopus template syntax to set 100% traffic immediately in Development, while production environments start at 10%, pause for approval, then move to 50%, pause again, then reach 100%, using kubectl argo rollouts promote commands between stages. _daily.dev surfaces practical walkthroughs like this for teams building canary rollout pipelines with Argo CD._ ### How do I abort an Argo CD Rollout if integration tests fail after a canary deployment step? Add a Run a kubectl script step configured to execute only if the previous step fails, calling kubectl argo rollouts abort rollouts-demo. This halts the rollout and prevents further traffic shifting to the new revision when post-deployment integration or end-to-end tests do not pass. _Developers hardening rollout pipelines can find similar failure-handling patterns curated on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Octopus Easy Mode - Progressive Rollout](https://daily.dev/posts/octopus-easy-mode---progressive-rollout-eznedy7aa) · OctopusDeploy · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [How to manage releases and rollbacks with Argo CD in Octopus Deploy](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-manage-releases-and-rollbacks-with-argo-cd-in-octopus-deploy-vthijxfuf) · OctopusDeploy · 15 upvotes · 0 comments - [Octopus Easy Mode - Kubernetes Microservice Orchestration](https://daily.dev/posts/octopus-easy-mode---kubernetes-microservice-orchestration-pgzktgknd) · OctopusDeploy · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Argo CD’s Rise and the Future of AI-Driven Deployments](https://daily.dev/posts/argo-cd-s-rise-and-the-future-of-ai-driven-deployments-cswxqfxio) · Cloud Native Now · 5 upvotes · 0 comments - [Progressive Delivery with Argo Rollouts, Isovalent and Gateway API](https://daily.dev/posts/progressive-delivery-with-argo-rollouts-isovalent-and-gateway-api-tm2kfmxei) · Isovalent · 2 upvotes · 1 comments --- Tags: [#kubernetes](https://daily.dev/tags/kubernetes), [#argocd](https://daily.dev/tags/argocd), [#octopus-deploy](https://daily.dev/tags/octopus-deploy) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/octopus-easy-mode---argo-cd-rollouts-zu7skj4dg) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Octopus Easy Mode - Argo CD Rollouts","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/octopus-easy-mode---argo-cd-rollouts-zu7skj4dg","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/octopus-easy-mode---argo-cd-rollouts-zu7skj4dg"},"datePublished":"2026-09-30T12:19:55.264Z","dateModified":"2026-09-30T12:20:17.291Z","description":"A walkthrough demonstrates how to build a sample Octopus Deploy project that deploys Argo CD Rollouts to a mock Kubernetes cluster, implementing a canary...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/338b2b77277598c0a320d5284270b72c?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/338b2b77277598c0a320d5284270b72c?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"OctopusDeploy","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"OctopusDeploy","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/71110ae886d64eac9f3a01496feb2bd8","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/octopusdeploy"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/octopus-easy-mode---argo-cd-rollouts-zu7skj4dg","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"kubernetes,argocd,octopus-deploy","timeRequired":"PT5M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"OctopusDeploy","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/octopusdeploy"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Octopus Easy Mode - Argo CD Rollouts"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/octopus-easy-mode---argo-cd-rollouts-zu7skj4dg#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I set up a canary deployment with Argo CD Rollouts across multiple environments in Octopus?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Create a Kubernetes target and project referencing a lifecycle with phases like Development, Prod 10, Prod 50, and Prod 100.
