Horizon CD provide deploy and pods management based on Argo CD. You can easily deploy your application instance and check your pods status.

  1. from the application instance page, click Build and deploy button
  2. select your git reference and check the differences from the last revision
  3. click Submit button to confirm the build and deploy.

Note that after changing build and deploy configurations, you could run Build and deploy to sync the changes.
