Not exactly. A Deployment (as well as StatefulSet, ReplicaSet and DaemonSet) considered healthy if the desired state equals to actual/current state (this includes the number of replicas).

|
||||
|
||||
<details>
|
||||
<summary>Explain manual syncs vs. automatic syncs</summary><br><b>
|
||||
|
||||
Automatic syncs means that once ArgoCD detected a change or a new version of your app in Git, it will apply the changes so the current/actual state can be equal to desired state.
|
||||
|
||||
With manual syncs, ArgoCD will identify there is a difference, but will do nothing to correct it.

|

<details>
|
||||
<summary>Explain auto-pruning</summary><br><b>
|
||||
|
||||
If enabled, auto-pruning will remove resources when files or content is removed from a tracked Git repository.
|
||||
|
||||
If disabled, ArgoCD will not remove anything, even when content or files are removed.

||||
</b></details>
|
||||
|
||||
<details>
|
||||
<summary>Explain self-heal in regards to ArgoCD</summary><br><b>
|
||||
|

Self-heal is the process of correcting the cluster state based on the desired state, when someone makes manual changes to the cluster.

### ArgoCD and Helm

|

<details>
|
||||
<summary>What support is provided in ArgoCD for Helm?</summary><br><b>
|
||||
|

ArgoCD is able to track packaged Helm chart in a sense where it will monitor for new versions.
|

<details>
|
||||
<summary>True or False? When ArgoCD tracks Helm chart the chart is no longer an Helm application and it's a ArgoCD app</summary><br><b>
|
||||
|
||||
True. Trying to execute commands like `helm ls` will fail because helm metadata doesn't exist anymore and the application is tracked as ArgoCD app.

# Sync App - Cluster
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make sure you have a Kubernetes cluster running with ArgoCD installed
|
||||
1. Make sure you have an app deployed in the cluster and tracked by ArgoCD
|
||||
|
||||
## Objectives
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify the app is tracked by ArgoCD and in sync
|
||||
2. . Make a change to your application by running a `kubectl` command. The change can anything:
|
||||
1. Changing the tag of the image
|
||||
2. Changing the number of replicas
|
||||
3. You can go extreme and delete the resource if you would like :)
|
||||
3. Check the app state in ArgoCD
|
||||
4. Sync the app state

# Sync App - Cluster
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make sure you have a Kubernetes cluster running with ArgoCD installed
|
||||
1. Make sure you have an app deployed in the cluster and tracked by ArgoCD
|
||||
|
||||
## Objectives
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify the app is tracked by ArgoCD and in sync
|
||||
2. . Make a change to your application by running a `kubectl` command. The change can anything:
|
||||
1. Changing the tag of the image
|
||||
2. Changing the number of replicas
|
||||
3. You can go extreme and delete the resource if you would like :)
|
||||
3. Check the app state in ArgoCD
|
||||
4. Sync the app state
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution
|
||||
|
||||
### UI
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click on the app in the UI
|
||||
1. Make sure it's in sync and in "healthy" state
|
||||
2. Make a check in the cluster
|
||||
1. `kubectl scale --replicas=0 <DEPLOYMENT_NAME>`
|
||||
2. `kubectl get rs <DEPLOYMENT_NAME>`
|
||||
3. Go back to the UI and check the state of the app
|
||||
1. If it's still in sync, make sure to click on "Refresh"
|
||||
2. The app should be in "out-of-sync" state
|
||||
3. Click on "Sync" and then on "Synchronize"
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Check app state and verify it's in sync
|
||||
argocd app get app-demo
|
||||
|
||||
# Run the following k8s commands (or any other commands that will change the state of your app)
|
||||
kubectl scale --replicas=0 <DEPLOYMENT_NAME>
|
||||
kubectl get rs <DEPLOYMENT_NAME>
|
||||
|
||||
# Check app state again
|
||||
argocd app get app-demo
|
||||
|
||||
# Sync app state
|
||||
argocd app sync app-demo
|
||||
argocd app wait app-demo
|
||||
```

# Sync App - Git
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make sure you have repository with some Kubernetes manifests
|
||||
2. Make sure you have a Kubernetes cluster running with ArgoCD installed
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Objectives
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a new application using the UI or CLI
|
||||
1. App Name: app-demo
|
||||
2. Project: project-demo
|
||||
3. Kubernetes namespace: default
|
||||
2. Sync the application
|
||||
3. Verify the application is running by executing `kubectl get deploy` in the `default` namespace
|
||||
4. Now make a change in your repository to one of the Kubernetes manifests (e.g. update deployment tag)
|
||||
5. Go back to ArgoCD and check the state of the app
|
||||
6. Sync the state of the application
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution
|
||||
|
||||
Click [here](solution.md) to view the solution
|
||||
|
||||
### UI
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click on "New App"
|
||||
1. Insert application name: `app-demo`
|
||||
2. Insert project: `project-demo`
|
||||
3. Under source put the repository URL to your GitHub repo with Kubernetes manifests
|
||||
1. Set path of your application
|
||||
4. Under destination put the address of your Kubernetes cluster and set namespace to `default`
|
||||
5. Click on "Create"
|
||||
2. Click on the newly created application
|
||||
1. Click on the "sync button" and click on "Synchronize"
|
||||
3. Make a change in your Git repo where the Kubernetes manifests are
|
||||
1. `git add .`
|
||||
2. `git commit -a`
|
||||
3. `git push origin <BRANCH_NAME>`
|
||||
4. Go back to ArgoCD UI and check the status of the app
|
||||
1. You should see it's "out-of-sync". If you don't, you may want to click on "Refresh"
|
||||
2. You can also click on "App diff" to see the difference that led to "out-of-sync"
|
||||
5. Click on "Sync" and "Synchronize" to sync the application
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
argocd app create app-demo \
|
||||
--project project-demo \
|
||||
--repo https://fake.repo.address \
|
||||
--path ./some_app_path \
|
||||
--dest-namespace default \
|
||||
--dest-server my.kubernetes.cluster
|
||||
|
||||
# In the Git repo
|
||||
cd <git repo>
|
||||
vi <k8s manifest>
|
||||
git add .
|
||||
git commit -a
|
||||
git push origin <BRANCH_NAME>
|
||||
|
||||
# Check app state
|
||||
argocd app get app-demo
|
||||
|
||||
# Sync app state
|
||||
argocd app sync app-demo
|
||||
argocd app wait app-demo

- Always specify requests and limits to prevent situation where containers are using the entire cluster memory which may lead to OOM issue

2. You encrypt it using some 3rd party project (.e.g kubeseal)

3. You apply the seald/encrypted secret
|

4. You commit the the sealed secret to Git

5. You deploy an application that requires the secret and it can be automatically decrypted by using for example a Bitnami Sealed secrets controller
