Introducing OCI Webhook Support in Argo CD: From Polling To Real-Time - Nitish Kumar, Akuity

Friday June 19, 2026 12:00pm - 12:30pm IST

204 (Level 2)

As GitOps evolves, more teams are adopting OCI-based artifacts for Helm charts and Kubernetes manifests instead of traditional Git repositories. While Argo CD added support for OCI sources, one major gap remained: event-driven updates. Unlike Git repositories, OCI registries historically lacked first-class webhook integration, forcing teams to rely on polling or manual refreshes. For organizations using GHCR, DockerHub, this meant slower feedback loops and reduced automation in production environments.

Argo CD is adding webhook support for OCI-compliant registries. In this session, I’ll present the design and implementation of webhook support, including GHCR and upcoming Docker Hub integration. I’ll also demonstrate how to configure registry webhooks, connect them to Argo CD, and trigger real-time reconciliation securely.

By the end of this talk, you’ll understand not just how OCI webhooks work internally, but how to configure them correctly in production and what pitfalls to avoid.
