Overview
The Civo provisioning process will:
- Create a
gitopsgit repository from our gitops-template and store it in your git provider. - Create a Kubernetes cluster in the Civo cloud.
- Install Argo CD bootstrapped against your
gitopsrepository so your repository powers the platform. - Install all the platform apps using GitOps (
gitopsrepository/registryfolder). - Apply Terraform to configure Vault (
gitopsrepository/terraform/vaultfolder). - Bind a webhook to ngrok in cluster so you can automate Terraform executions through Atlantis.
- Integrate Argo Workflows with your git provider.
- Install Argo Workflows cluster workflow templates to build containers, publish charts, and provide GitOps delivery pipelines.
- Install a sample application that uses this automation to demonstrate app delivery (metaphor source code).
