A project to demonstrate the uses of Terraform ( IaaC ), KinD ( Kubernetes in Docker ) and Argo.

All the setup can be run in Github Copilot, features:

• Initialize the Kubernetes Cluster using Terraform
• Setup Nginx Ingress in the Cluster
• Setup ArgoCD in the cluster
• Ingress definition for ArgoCD using Nginx
• Documentation for KinD load balancer and K9s
• Add Argo Workflows

Future features

• Add example http endpoint using KinD Loadbalancer
• Add visualization for Kubernetes Cluster
• Add users roles for ArgoCD
• Add argoCD projects

Install k9s to see the cluster

wget https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/download/v0.32.5/k9s_linux_amd64.deb -P /tmp/ sudo dpkg -i /tmp/k9s_linux_amd64.deb

Then you can use the next command to open K9s with nano editor to make any change: KUBE_EDITOR="nano" k9s
