Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “Create the new file named argocd-rbac-cm.yaml in the same location where we have argocd-cm.yaml.”

A block of code is set as follows:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: argocd-cm
data:
  accounts.alina: apiKey, login

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

patchesStrategicMerge:
 - patches/argocd-cm.yaml
 - patches/argocd-rbac-cm.yaml

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

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

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “You can use the UI by navigating to the User-Info section.”
