Argo CD 3.5 upgrade: what ops teams moving from 3.x should prepare for
A platform team running Argo CD 3.2 or 3.3 with a few hundred Applications needs to upgrade to 3.5 before an upcoming audit. The release came out in August 2026, and patch releases have since reached 3.5.6, while upstream support covers only the newest minor lines. The article advises treating the upgrade as a managed migration rather than a simple version bump, including backing up state, reviewing upgrade notes for each intervening minor, and rehearsing in a non-production environment. It also flags that ingress-nginx, which was retired in March 2026, should be replaced separately rather than during the same change window. The detailed behavior changes are not reproduced and should be taken from the official Argo CD upgrade documentation and release notes.
