terraform-k8s VS argo-cd

Is anyone here using the Terraform Cloud Operator in production? If so, how are you managing workspace secrets?

So I’m using the terraform cloud operator for kubernetes (https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-k8s) to create workspaces from an EKS cluster. I’ve had to use a forked helm chart. However, the issue I have right now is that when I create a workspace via the CRD, it creates on Terraform cloud and then is just stuck. Doesn’t try to apply the module, plan, apply etc. The logs of the operator pod talks about not being able to find the workspace.

Did anyone try https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-k8s for applying GitOps principles to IaC?

In addition to creating Kubernetes clusters, there is also an increasing number of opportunities to use various Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools, such as Terraform, with GitOps. As was already mentioned, PipeCD offers support for Terraform. Terraform's vendor, HashiCorp, now also offers an official Terraform Kubernetes operator. However, it needs access to HashiCorp's Terraform Cloud. Alternatively, there are also third-party operators that can function without Terraform Cloud, such as the one developed by Rancher. However, it is still in alpha stage.

Pretty neat. I really want to test it out, and see how it compares to https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-k8s and https://github.com/rancher/terraform-controller

The code above will create the argocd Kubernetes namespace and deploy the latest stable manifest. If you would like to install a specific manifest, have a look here.

In this blog post, we will demonstrate how easy and fast it is to deploy Sveltos on an RKE2 cluster with the help of ArgoCD, register two RKE2 Cluster API (CAPI) clusters and create a ClusterProfile to deploy Prometheus and Grafana Helm charts down the managed CAPI clusters.

Argo CD

$version = (Invoke-RestMethod https://api.github.com/repos/argoproj/argo-cd/releases/latest).tag_name Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/releases/download/$version/argocd-windows-amd64.exe" -OutFile "argocd.exe"

This is cool - I can think of some projects that are amazing as first contributors, and others I can think of that are terrible.

One thing I think the tool doesn't address is why someone should contribute to a particular project. Having stars is interesting, and a proxy for at least historical activity, but also kind of useless here - take argoproj/argo-cd [1] as an example - 14.5k stars, with a backlog of 2.7k issues and an issue tracker that's a real mess.

Either way, I think this tool is neat for trying to gain some experience in a project purely based on language.

In our case, our team went ahead with Solution B, as that was the only solution present when the issue occurred. However, with the release of Argo CD 2.8.0 (released on August 7, 2023), things have changed - for the better :). Now, there are two ways to handle the sharding issue with the Argo CD Application Controller:

$ kubectl create namespace argocd //Next, let's apply the yaml configuration files for ArgoCd $ kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml //Now we can view the pods created in the ArgoCD namespace. $ kubectl get pods -n argocd //To interact with the API Server we need to deploy the CLI: $ curl --silent --location -o /usr/local/bin/argocd https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/releases/download/v2.4.7/argocd-linux-amd64 $ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/argocd //Expose argocd-server $ kubectl patch svc argocd-server -n argocd -p '{"spec": {"type": "LoadBalancer"}}' //Wait about 2 minutes for the LoadBalancer creation $ kubectl get svc -n argocd //Get pasword and decode it. $ kubectl get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -n argocd -o yaml $ echo WXVpLUg2LWxoWjRkSHFmSA== | base64 --decode

From here, we can explore other developments and tutorials on Kubernetes, such as o11y or observability (PLG, ELK, ELF, TICK, Jaeger, Pyroscope), service mesh (Linkerd, Istio, NSM, Consul Connect, Cillium), and progressive delivery (ArgoCD, FluxCD, Spinnaker).

lol! Wham! Third choice! https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd

If you mean for each app, I don't think it's listed anywhere though you may find it in `repo-server` logs. Like so
