Argo Workflows

Q1. Why is an artifact repository configured for Argo Workflows?

A To store workflow input and output artifacts outside the pods that produce them.
Correct. Artifact repositories provide durable storage for files passed between workflow tasks.
B To hold Argo CD user accounts and RBAC policies.
Incorrect. Argo CD account and RBAC configuration is not stored in the workflow artifact repository.
C To replace every Kubernetes PersistentVolumeClaim in the cluster.
Incorrect. Artifact repositories do not replace all persistent volumes in a cluster.
D To provide traffic routing for blue-green deployments.
Incorrect. Blue-green traffic routing is a Rollouts concern.
E Configure Argo CD automated sync to recreate the Workflow whenever the source repository changes, then treat sync status as the task execution result.
Incorrect. Argo CD can apply Workflow manifests, but the Workflow controller owns task execution and workflow status.
