Overview

The AWS provisioning process will:

• Create a VPC, subnets, IAM, and EKS cluster in your specified AWS account.
• Create a gitops git repository from our gitops-template, customized for you, and store it in your git provider.
• Install Argo CD and register it with your gitops repository so that your main branch powers the platform.
• Install all the platform apps using Argo CD GitOps preconfigured sync waves (gitops repository /registry folder).
• Apply Terraform to configure Vault (gitops repository /terraform/vault folder).
• Bind a webhook to Atlantis to automate Terraform executions.
• Integrate Argo Workflows with your git provider.
• Install Argo Workflows automation to build containers, publish charts, and provide GitOps delivery pipelines.
• Install a sample app git repository that uses this automation to demonstrate GitOps app delivery and promotion (metaphor source code).
