[@ADV-IT]

Thanks!

[@TechWhale]

Thanks for the video, very instructive. Also, how would you create the secret used by the External Secret Operator's SecretStore using this pattern ? What would be the recommended folder structure for this ?

[@pancakez7022]

what is difference with multiple sources?

[@kylemcmearty]

ApplicationSet ?

[@allaouaabdelghani3522]

Thanks for the video. Is it better to use ApplicationSet templating or The App of Apps Pattern ?

[@akuityio]

ApplicationSets and App of Apps have their own specific use cases and are both valid patterns. It all depends on what your end goal is.

@@akuityio do you have any criteria for deciding between the two perhaps?

[@koodauskanava9096]

Here you are creating manually the app of apps to bootstrap it. Would it make sence to deploy that with Terraform so no click-ops would be needed?

[@dev_among_men]

Trying to do the same, only reasonable (terraform apply and boom)

[@adrianantunez779]

Yes, actually that would be a really interesting approach, specially if trying to avoid clickops
