Overview

The k3d provisioning process will:

  • Create a multinode k3d Kubernetes cluster on your localhost.
  • 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).
