# Cluster API GitOps using helm and ArgoCD
## Goals
- To bring [declarative style](https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/introduction.html), Kubernetes style APIs to cluster creation
- Use helm to modify k8 cluster values based on requirement. This helps in code reusability
- Version control
- Using GitOps([ArgoCD](https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd)) to deploy, scale-in/scale-out and rollback your Kubernetes clusters.
## Prerequisites
- [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) - This will act as your management cluster for bootstrapping cluster-api components.
- [clusterctl](https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/user/quick-start.html) - The clusterctl CLI tool handles the lifecycle of a Cluster API management cluster.
- [Govc](https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/tree/master/govc) - Govc will be used to interact with your vSphere environment.
- [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/)
- [helm](https://github.com/helm/helm)
- vSphere 6.7U3 or above
For more information refer to the cluster-api [quickstart](https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/user/quick-start.html)
## Installation
### Clone repository
```
git clone https://github.com/johnlam90/capv-helm.git
cd capv-helm
```
### Install argocd on you kind cluster
```
kubectl create namespace argocd
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml
```
### Access the GUI using port forwarding
**Note:** Ideally you will use LoadBalancer or Ingress in production deployments, but port forwarding will do for our kind cluster. Refer to the argo [doc](https://argoproj.github.io/argo-cd/getting_started/)
```
kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443
```
