# Argo Events [Argo Events](https://argoproj.github.io/argo-events/) is an open source container-native event-driven workflow automation framework for Kubernetes which helps you trigger K8s objects, Argo Workflows, Serverless workloads, etc. on events from a variety of sources. Argo Events is implemented as a Kubernetes CRD (Custom Resource Definition). ## Usage Argo Events can be deployed by enabling the add-on via the following. ```hcl enable_argo_events = true ``` You can optionally customize the Helm chart that deploys Argo Events via the following configuration. ```hcl enable_argo_events = true argo_events = { name = "argo-events" chart_version = "2.4.0" repository = "https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm" namespace = "argo-events" values = [templatefile("${path.module}/values.yaml", {})] } ``` Verify argo-events pods are running. ```sh $ kubectl get pods -n argo-events NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE argo-events-controller-manager-bfb894cdb-k8hzn 1/1 Running 0 11m ```
