argocd-example-apps/blue-green-deploy-workflow/components/wf/bluegreen.yaml

# This workflow performs a "blue-green" deployment, while preserving the original deployment object
# and name. It accomplishes this by temporarily redirecting traffic to a *clone* of the original
# deployment. Then after upgrading the original deployment to a later version, redirects traffic
# back to the original (now upgraded) deployment.
