Stay safe with Kubernetes CI/CD …

… and put on your Helmet

In my journey to learn Kubernetes (k8s), I soon realized how difficult it is to deploy k8s objects individually on many clusters. Luckily, I came across a k8s delivery tool that makes this much easier and safer. I came across Argo CD.

Argo CD - Declarative GitOps CD for Kubernetes

This article demonstrates:

• setting up Argo CD in k8s
• containerizing a small python Flask App
• setting up GitHub to run continuous integration (CI)
• deploying an Argo CD application and syncing its status in k8s
• setting up a Helm chart to manage k8s objects
• deploying an Argo CD application using a Helm chart and syncing its status in k8s
• updating the python Flask App and synching k8s to automatically update to the latest version using Argo CD
