What is the recommended VPS sizing for ArgoCDScale: ArgoCD HA Redis Sentinel & HAProxy Sizing?

We recommend starting with an 8GB NVMe KVM instance with a 25% spike headroom buffer.

ArgoCDScale Blueprint: High-Availability (install-ha.yaml) Sizing for Redis Sentinel, HAProxy & Pod Anti-Affinity — ArgoCDScale NVMe VPS sizing and latency benchmark diagram — Fig 1 — ArgoCDScale 16GB allocation for argocd-application-controller + repo-server (116,000 IOPS, 3.1 s reconcile).

ArgoCDScale accounts for the memory jump when moving from install.yaml to official HA manifests (argo-cd Helm chart ha.enabled=true): standalone Redis becomes a 3-replica Redis Sentinel quorum plus 3 HAProxy routers,

argocd-server and repo-server double in replica count, and hard PodAntiAffinity demands at least 3 schedulable worker nodes.

INFRA AUDIT

[+] ArgoCDScale Operational Strengths

Isolates 16GB KVM RAM so argocd-application-controller + repo-server serves 300 GitOps Application CRs cleanly.
Meets ArgoCDScale 3.1 s reconcile goals through 116,000 IOPS block throughput.
Replaces variable overage charges around argocd-application-controller + repo-server with flat KVM pricing.

[-] Trade-Offs & Watchouts

Deepest Vultr High Frequency NVMe rate ($12.00/mo) requires selecting a 12m or 24m term.
Automated argocd-application-controller + repo-server updates still warrant monthly Helm/Kustomize manifest tmpfs cache + Redis HA backup checks.

Strong Fit For ArgoCDScale Teams

Founders moving 80–900 GitOps Application CRs off metered SaaS platforms.
Architects isolating argocd-application-controller + repo-server behind WireGuard and private Helm/Kustomize manifest tmpfs cache + Redis HA disks.

Skip This Setup If

Weekend throwaway demos under 72 hours (use hourly UltaHost Dedicated EPYC VDS billing instead).
Teams unwilling to edit argocd-cmd-params-cm.yaml or run basic Ubuntu maintenance.

ArgoCDScale Production Tuning Rules for HA-REDIS-SENTINEL

ArgoCDScale HA Tip 1: Disable Redis RDB and AOF disk persistence (save: "") in redis-ha because ArgoCD uses Redis strictly as a reconstructible gzipped manifest and state cache; disabling BGSAVE avoids copy-on-write fork latency.

ArgoCDScale HA Tip 2: Configure explicit maxmemory and maxmemory-policy: allkeys-lru on Redis so large Helm CRD caches evict older commit revisions cleanly rather than returning OOM errors.

ArgoCDScale HA Tip 3: Confirm at least 3 schedulable Kubernetes worker nodes exist before enabling ha.enabled=true so requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution anti-affinity rules do not leave HA pods Pending.

ArgoCDScale Engineering FAQ for HA-REDIS-SENTINEL

What does ArgoCDScale model when all Redis HA pods restart at the same time?

No declarative GitOps state is lost because desired state resides in Git and live state resides in Kubernetes etcd, but repo-server must regenerate cached manifests. ArgoCDScale enforces reposerver.parallelism.limit specifically to survive cold-cache rebuild storms.

Can ArgoCDScale HA topologies use external Valkey or managed Redis instead of redis-ha?

Yes. Setting redis.enabled=false and redis-ha.enabled=false while pointing externalRedis.host at a low-latency VPC Valkey or Redis endpoint works reliably when intra-VPC RTT stays below 2ms.
