Leveraging Red Hat OpenShift’s CI/CD for GitOps

In this section, we delve into leveraging Red Hat OpenShift’s CI/CD capabilities for GitOps. Specifically, we will apply these principles to deploy the weather application, which was introduced previously in the My city weather app section in Chapter 4. Utilizing a deployment YAML file, we will orchestrate the application’s rollout on the OpenShift cluster through our Argo CD instance, targeting the gitopsk8sdeployments namespace. This practical example will demonstrate how OpenShift’s CI/CD tools, combined with GitOps methodologies, streamline and automate the deployment processes, ensuring a consistent, traceable, and efficient application delivery pipeline.

Let’s explore how to integrate these powerful technologies to deploy our weather application seamlessly:

1. In the OpenShift web console, ensure you are in the Administrator mode.
2. Then, navigate to Networking and select Routes. Look...
