Let's do GitOps in Kubernetes! ArgoCD Tutorial

We start taking a look at CI-CD, especially the CD part with the free and open-source Argo CD. In this video, we will automate the deployment of a Nginx Web server on my Kubernetes Cluster. #Kubernetes #GitOps #ArgoCD

Another Great video Christian. You always do an excellent job covering the issues one may encounter on these builds!

[@christianlempa]

Thank you so much :)

[@maxiu..]

Few tools which integrate nicely with Argo - helm (also creating Argo application resources as helm charts gives some benefits) - renovate (like watchtower for docker but this one watches your repo and auto commits updates to docker image/helm chart versions) - reloader (for when you apply new version of configmap and need your app to restart) I have been running Argo in production for over 2 years now, even for self hosted k3s kubernetes it is IMO the best way to deploy your apps.

[@christianlempa]

Oh they sound nice, thank you for sharing!

[@miraccan00]

I have confusin while CI pipeline get into this situation how we going to change our helm manifest without second push ?

[@TheOnlyEpsilonAlpha]

Very handy tool! Will take a look at it

[@alanscelza6397]

Absolutely incredible video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge I'm kinda new workings as a devops, and this kind of material is priceless

[@ArielS]

Great, big thanks! Yesterday I was thinking in to deploy ArgoCD into my home lab. :D

[@christianlempa]

Oh what a great timing :D

[@abdelrahimahmad7801]

Great topic, man. Thank you.

[@christianlempa]

My pleasure!

[@alexandruciobotaru5085]

Loved the vid!

[@agelosnm]

Excellent video! A really intersting topic regarding ArgoCD is Helm charts deployments instead of using simple manifests files!

[@christianlempa]

Thank you mate! Glad it was useful!

[@drbyte2009]

A fantastic video !! 👍👍

[@christianlempa]

Thank you very much!

[@alesiobita365]

You made it looks easier! Excellent work, I’ve learned a lot from you! I also added argo image updater with strategy as rolling-update to have the CD on fire :) i would be interest for rollback (restore) procedures, if any release doesn’t work and to go back to the previous release. Thanks again :)

[@christianlempa]

Thank you! :) I'm still testing a lot with ArgoCD, but I hope to make more videos about it.

[@DanielRolfe]

Awesome vid thanks 🙏

[@christianlempa]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mav29]

great video, this one got me subbed @5min

[@christianlempa]

Awesome, thank you!

[@MisterCoder]

Really goof video, appreciate it

[@christianlempa]

Thx! :)

[@cybersecurehacks]

my favourite tech nerd is back 🔥

[@christianlempa]

Haha it's good to be back :D

[@Fayaz-Rehman]

Thank you for the Good Stuff.

[@christianlempa]

Thanks for watching

[@shriker95]

Nice overview. Did you tried the different views? (You can switch dem on the top-right corner)

[@diogodias6694]

I work as DevOps and I was curious about this technology since a long time. Your video just gave me a great idea for implementation on my company! Nice explanation, simple and fast! Many thanks 🙏 Keep going!

[@christianlempa]

Glad I could help!

[@KX3DEX]

Do you happen to be doing anything with Helm Secrets and ArgoCD? If so have you done a video no it? Love the videos!

[@RaviSharma-vw7py]

wow informative contents Christian ! Thanks ! Kindly also create one more video related Argo workflow to build docker image & push to dockerhub using kaniko on the same way like SSL ,traefik & ingress/ ingressroute as you did this one! Thanks!

[@wicksy39]

maybe you should give it a go first

[@christianlempa]

Thank you so much! :) Glad that you like it. Considering doing a video about github actions and argocd maybe...

[@bassemkaroui4914]

@@christianlempa That would be really cool, can't wait for that video. Thanks Christian, you're videos are real gems.

[@rebelavie7772]

Hey.. Christian... Do you have some experience using jsonnet? ( data templating language) in kubernetes... If yes Can do a video about it..? I heard it could be a good alternativ to kustomize or helm

[@AndrewBlakeOxford]

I use gitlab running on docker to do this type of thing - Never used ArgoCD before but I'll check it out

[@christianlempa]

Oh nice! I wonder if there is another tool working with Docker apart from gitlab runners

[@kamilgregorczyk8680]

is it possible to store deployment templates on argo side so every app uses the same way for deploy ?

[@bjrnhjjakobsen2174]

Nice “speed” in this episode - any faster and you loose me as I get annoyed 😂 your content is very well done and it deserves the right pitch - please

[@christianlempa]

Thank you so much ;)

[@peterthverdokhleb5689]

Chris, what theme are you using in powershell ? Like ofc

[@christianlempa]

Using a custom colour scheme and the starship prompt

[@alexelizarov]

What about private repositories?

[@Lars-ju9pw]

Does anyone happen to know what color scheme vscode is running? ArgoCD and datree community are both about to be deployed in my home cluster because of this video. Thanks!

[@christianlempa]

Nice! ;) I'm using my own vscode scheme, "The Digital Life"

[@collimarco]

Please make a video about Cuber

[@christianlempa]

Hm, any reason why this should be better than argocd?

[@collimarco]

@@christianlempa it's not the same as ArgoCD, totally different project with different goal

[@rampanwar1316]

How to build docker image using the argo.

[@christianlempa]

That might be a project for an upcoming video about CI ;)

[@meyou118]

fantastic video - wish there was a way to turn the very annoying background music off!!!

[@imjavierpalma]

VS Code theme?

[@christianlempa]

Just search for "The Digital Life" ;)

[@jonandez91]

First.

[@christianlempa]

Second :)
