- In simple terms, ArgoCD is a continuous deployment tool that allows us to automatically deploy the latest version of an application once code has been merged to the master branch.
- Greenstand currently does continuous deployment using Github workflows. By using ArgoCD, it simplifies each Github workflow and kubernetes configurations do not need to be stored in Github to deploy.
- Pre-requisites: kustomize and access to kubernetes clusters
- Ensure the proper kubernetes context is set
- Inside the root of one of the environment folders such as
development, deploy the sealed secrets inside theresourcesfolder. Runkubectl -n argocd apply -f resources/ - Inside the root of one of the environment folders such as
development, runkubectl -n argocd apply -k .
- ArgoCD has been configured to:
- use Github SSO to allow users to login using their Github account
- notify slack once a deployment is triggered
- The credentials for these configurations can be found in each environment folder such as
development/resourcesand need to be deployed before deploying the server and its components
- ArgoCD is fronted by ambassador so it can be accessed through the ambassador URL. For the dev instance, it can be accessed at http://dev-k8s.treetracker.org/argocd
