 Read this [blog](https://codefresh.io/blog/introducing-the-worlds-first-dashboard-for-gitops-environments/) on the world's first dashboard for GitOps Environments.

 **What is an Environment in Codefresh GitOps?**
 An Environment isanentity in Codefresh defined by one or more K8s clusters and namespaces. It consolidates information for all Argo CD applications deployed to those clusters and namespaces, allowing you to easily track what's deployed where at any given moment.
 An Environment isa customentity in Codefresh defined by one or more pairs of K8s clusters and namespaces. It consolidates information for all Argo CD applications deployed to those clusters and namespaces, allowing you to easily track what's deployed where at any given moment.

 Codefresh allows you to define Environments that can exist without any applications deployed to them.

 **Monitor deployments, resources, and services of individual applications**
 As a one-stop shop for Argo Rollouts and Argo CD, the GitApps dashboard and its Applications tab delivers on the challenge of keeping track of your applications and their deployments, whatever the frequency and scale, across all clusters in your enterprise. A wide range of filters, progressive delivery views, and enriched CI and CD information, provide full traceability and visibility of deployments.

 ## GitOps Environments & Argo CD applications
 To track, optimize, and manage deployments at scale you need a way to visualize applications at every stage of their development and deployment lifecycle. Our custom Environment resource allows you to do just this without the need for complex configuration and maintenance overhead.

 Create Environments by defining one or more pairs of clusters and namespaces for it. Codefresh collates the data on these Environments, populates them with the applications deployed to the target clusters and namespaces. Visualize the environments and their applications in the GitOps Environments dashboard to track promotions and view version and details on the most recent commits that caused the change.

 >**NOTE**:
 For information on creating and managing Application Groups, Argo CD applications and application resources, see [Creating Argo CD applications]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/deployments/gitops/create-application/) and [Managing Argo CD applications]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/deployments/gitops/manage-application/).
 Here's a visualization of Argo CD applications in the GitOps Environments dashboard.

 ## GitOps Products & Argo CD applications
 The Product is another custom resource from Codefresh, also enhancing application management at scale. As teams expand and applications and services multiply, keeping track of deployments across various environments can become challenging, if not unmanageable.

 Instead of having to switch between applications, or switch across multiple tools to track and manage different aspects of deployments, Products allow you to group applications into cohesive units, simplifying viewing, tracking, and management.
 Codefresh seamlessly collates the Environments where each application in the Product is deployed, along with insights into commits, contributors, and features deployed across versions.

 Here's a visualization of Argo CD applications grouped by Products in the GitOps Products dashboard.

  Here you can monitor its health and sync status, deployments, and resources. See [Monitoring Argo CD applications]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/deployments/gitops/applications-dashboard/).
 After creating Argo CD applications in Codefresh, you can also monitor and manage them in the GitOps Environments and Products dashboards by creating Environment and Product resources. See [GitOps Environments dashboard]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/dashboards/gitops-environments/) and [GitOps Products dashboard]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/dashboards/gitops-products/).

 * Manage Argo CD applications
  You can also select an application and update the application's configuration settings, or delete it.  For all available options, see [Managing Argo CD applications]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/deployments/gitops/manage-application/).

 ## Application: Definitions
 Application definitions include the name,runtime, and the name of the YAML manifest. By default, the YAML manifest has the same name as that of the application.

 Application creation and deployment is one part of the continuous deployment/delivery process. An equally important part is optimizing deployed applications when needed.
 Application creation and deployment is one part of the continuous deployment/delivery process. An equally important part is optimizing deployed applications as and when needed.

 There are two aspects to managing and optimizing Argo CD applications in Codefresh:
 * Optimizing deployments through GitOps Environments and Products
 * Managing individual applications

 **Optimizing application deployments**

 * [GitOps Environments](#gitops-environments--argo-cd-applications)
  The GitOps Environments dashboard visualizes Argo CD applications within the context of their environments, allowing you to track their journey through the software development lifecycle.

 * [GitOps Products](#gitops-products--argo-cd-applications)
  The GitOps Products dashboard displays applications grouped within a Product, with version, Git, and feature-tracking information.

 **Managing individual applications**

 >**NOTE**:
 The actions you can perform depend on the [permissions]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/administration/account-user-management/gitops-abac/) assigned to you.
  To delete specific resources within an application, see [Delete application resources]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/deployments/gitops/applications-dashboard/#delete-application-resources).


 ## GitOps Environments & Argo CD applications
 To track, optimize, and manage deployments at scale you need a way to visualize applications at every stage of their development and deployment lifecycle. Our custom Environment resource allows you to do just this without the need for complex configuration and maintenance overhead.

 Create Environments by defining one or more pairs of clusters and namespaces for it. Codefresh collates the data on these Environments, populates them with the applications deployed to the target clusters and namespaces. Visualize the environments and their applications in the GitOps Environments dashboard to track promotions and view version and details on the most recent commits that caused the change.

		To track, optimize, and manage deployments at scale you need a way to visualize applications at every stage of their development and deployment lifecycle. Our custom Environment resource allows you to do just this without the need for complex configuration and maintenance overhead.

		Create Environments by defining one or more pairs of clusters and namespaces for it. Codefresh collates the data on these Environments, populates them with the applications deployed to the target clusters and namespaces. Visualize the environments and their applications in the GitOps Environments dashboard to track promotions and view version and details on the most recent commits that caused the change.

		Here's a visualization of Argo CD applications in the GitOps Environments dashboard.

		## GitOps Products & Argo CD applications
		The Product is another custom resource from Codefresh, also enhancing application management at scale. As teams expand and applications and services multiply, keeping track of deployments across various environments can become challenging, if not unmanageable.

		Instead of having to switch between applications, or switch across multiple tools to track and manage different aspects of deployments, Products allow you to group applications into cohesive units, simplifying viewing, tracking, and management.
		Codefresh seamlessly collates the Environments where each application in the Product is deployed, along with insights into commits, contributors, and features deployed across versions.

		Here's a visualization of Argo CD applications grouped by Products in the GitOps Products dashboard.
