Create And Manage GitOps-Ready Kubernetes Clusters With Crossplane

Wouldn't it be great if every cluster we create is "GitOps-ready"? For something like that to happen, we'd need to create a Kubernetes cluster, install Argo CD, Flux, or Rancher Fleet, configure Namespaces, create projects and apps that monitor specific Git repositories, etc. We can simplify all that through Crossplane Compositions and enable anyone to have GitOps-ready clusters with almost no effort.

Wow great video! 🔥🔥🔥I need to do more with crossplane!

[@IvanRizzante]

Thanks for another great video! I have a question here: what happens when you delete the GitOpsClaim? As far as I can see there is nothing to prevent Crossplane to delete ArgoCD Pods before ArgoCD Application or AppProject.

I have question here, do you have resources that explains how to import existing cluster (EKS) in cross plane and get control of this cluster

[@autohmae]

cross plane documentation: knowledge-base/guides/import-existing-resources

[@betorvs]

Hi! Is there any example of it using private git repository instead? I mean for argocd bootstrap the new cluster.

[@Upbound]

Yes there is: argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user-guide/private-repositories/

[@UtkarshMishra-it4oc]

What if I have to deploy helm charts that are not available in any public git repo but available with me as files, how can I do this with this kind of setup. Does the Helm provider have anything for local charts ?

[@TankaNafaka]

Is there a repo with compositions ready to be used with GKE,EKS,AKS that includes: ingress, external dns, wildcard certificate?

[@Upbound]

There are reference repos in github.com/upbound (search for platform-ref repos).

[@UtkarshMishra-it4oc]

How to access the UI of the ArgoCD server deployed on EKS cluster ? I have tried port forwarding but can't get the password right. The password I am trying is the one I found in composition.yaml in patches section and username is admin.

What happens if I destroy the cluster on my local cluster before I destroy the cluster on the cloud. Could I destroy it if I recreate a local cluster

[@Upbound]

If you destroy the cluster forcefully (without first deleting the resources), the infra will stay. If, later on, you create a new cluster and apply the same resources, crossplane will take over the command of the existing infra, as long as external names are defined.
