Amazon EKS Capability for Argo CD now supports custom configuration
Amazon EKS Argo CD capability now allows custom configuration, enabling custom health checks and UI customization.
The Amazon EKS Capability for Argo CD now supports custom configuration through a standard argocd-cm ConfigMap in the cluster. This provides a fully managed GitOps continuous delivery experience that can be tuned to fit team workflows. Users can define custom health checks for Custom Resources, customize the Argo CD UI banner content, and adjust how the capability watches and compares managed resources. These settings are configured the same way as in upstream Argo CD, with AWS applying them to the managed capability. Custom health checks allow holding an Application at progressing until resources like databases are ready. Built-in health checks for AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK) and kro resources ensure accurate health reporting without additional configuration. This capability can be configured in all AWS Regions where it is available.

This update affects developers and DevOps engineers using GitOps workflows with Argo CD on Amazon EKS, offering greater flexibility in customizing the Argo CD capability.
