CAPA practice examsUpdate in progress
Certified Argo Project Associate
The four Argo projects and what each is for: Argo CD applications with sync and health reported separately and automation, self-heal and prune as distinct settings, Rollouts adding canary and blue-green with analysis-driven rollback, and Projects constraining a shared instance; then Workflows running container graphs with artifacts and templates, Events flowing from source through bus to sensor and trigger, the boundary that Workflows performs work while Argo CD owns state, and the operational settings that keep an estate from accumulating.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Argo Workflows | 36% |
| Argo CD | 34% |
| Argo Rollouts | 18% |
| Argo Events | 12% |
Two sample questions
1. Which is a benefit of parameterising workflows?
- Each step gets its own isolated container image
- Failed steps are retried without side effects
- One workflow can be reused with different inputs — correct
- Finished workflows are cleaned up automatically
Why: Parameterising workflows lets one definition be reused with different inputs.
2. What does an Argo Workflow container template run?
- A single container as a step — correct
- A whole application deployment
- An event source
- An analysis template
Why: A container template executes one container, and steps or a DAG compose many. It is the basic unit of a workflow.
