Argo Workflows is a cloud-native workflow engine for Kubernetes that orchestrates parallel jobs. As a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) graduated project, it meets the highest standards for user adoption, security, and project maturity. This topic introduces the Argo Workflows component, and describes its installation steps and release notes.
Introduction
Argo Workflows is developed based on the Argo Workflows project with enhanced stability and performance. It allows you to deploy large-scale workflows within clusters. Argo Workflows is ideal for standard workflow scenarios, such as machine learning pipelines, autonomous driving simulations, gene sequencing tasks, batch data processing, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), and infrastructure automation.
Usage notes
If you require O&M-free and high performance for large-scale workflow orchestration, we recommend that you use Serverless Argo Workflows. For more information, see Overview of Kubernetes clusters for distributed Argo workflows.
For instructions about how to submit workflows, see Manage workflows. For best practices using Argo Workflows, see Best practices.

Install Argo Workflows.
Log on to the ACK console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.
On the Clusters page, find the cluster that you want to manage and click its name. In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Add-ons page, search for Argo Workflows.
Find Argo Workflows and click Install on its card.
In the Install Argo Workflows pop-up, click OK.
Check the deployment status of Argo Workflows.
Log on to the ACK console.
On the Clusters page, find the cluster that you want to manage and click the name of the cluster or click Details in the Actions column. The details page of the cluster appears.
In the left-side navigation pane of the cluster details page, choose .
On the Helm page, check the deployment status of Argo Workflows.
If the Status column displays Deployed for Argo Workflows, it is successfully deployed.
