ArgoCD

ArgoCD Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes.

Application definitions, configurations, and environments should be declarative and version controlled. Application deployment and lifecycle management should be automated, auditable, and easy to understand.

Usage

ArgoCD can be deployed by enabling the add-on via the following.

#---------------------------------------
# ENABLE ARGOCD
#---------------------------------------
argocd_enable = true

You can optionally customize the Helm chart that deploys ArgoCD via the following configuration.

argocd_helm_chart = {
  name             = "argo-cd"
  chart            = "argo-cd"
  repository       = "https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm"
  version          = "3.26.3"
  namespace        = "argocd"
  timeout          = "1200"
  create_namespace = true
  values = [templatefile("${path.module}/argocd-values.yaml", {})]
}

Boostrapping

The framework provides an approach to bootstraping workloads and/or additional add-ons by leveraging the ArgoCD App of Apps pattern.

The following code example demonstrates how you can supply information for a repository in order to bootstrap multiple workloads in a new EKS cluster. The example leverages a sample App of Apps repository that ships with the EKS SSP solution.

argocd_applications = {
  workloads = {
    namespace         = "argocd"
    repo_path         = "envs/dev"
    repo_url          = "https://github.com/aws-samples/ssp-eks-workloads.git"
    target_revision   = "HEAD"
    destination       = "https://kubernetes.default.svc"
    project           = "default"
    values            = {}
  }
}
