Scalable Application Deployment on AWS EC2 with ArgoCD and KIND (Kubernetes).

Application Architecture

• Launch an AWS EC2 instance.

• Install Docker and Kind.

• Create a Kubernetes cluster using Kind.

• Install and access kubectl.

• Set up the Kubernetes Dashboard.

• Install and configure Argo CD.

• Connect and manage your Kubernetes cluster with Argo CD.

• install_kind.sh

• Create a namespace for Argo CD:

kubectl create namespace argocd

• Apply the Argo CD manifest:

kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml

• Check services in Argo CD namespace:

kubectl get svc -n argocd

• Expose Argo CD server using NodePort:

kubectl patch svc argocd-server -n argocd -p '{"spec": {"type": "NodePort"}}'

• Now the argocd-server is running on NodePort.

• Forward ports to access Argo CD server:

kubectl port-forward -n argocd service/argocd-server 8443:443 &hkubectl port-forward -n argocd service/argocd-server 8443:443 &h

• Argo CD Initial Admin Password

kubectl get secret -n argocd argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d && echo

In ArgoCD we need to add cluster, application, connect to GitHub and deploy.

kubectl port-forward svc/kubernetes-dashbo ard -n kubernetes-dashboard 8080:
