Centralized Kubernetes cluster creation – leveraging Cluster API and Argo CD for streamlined cluster deployment

In the world of modern software deployment, the synergy between Cluster API and Argo CD stands as a testament to the power and efficiency of GitOps practices. This approach not only facilitates the operation of Argo CD within clusters but also harnesses GitOps methodologies for deploying clusters themselves. These clusters form the foundational infrastructure for Argo CD and the workloads it manages, including various applications deployed through it.

This section delves into how Argo CD can be utilized, or how a self-service portal for teams can be provided, to streamline the deployment of Kubernetes clusters. The effectiveness of this approach is evidenced by companies such as Kubermatic, CLASTIX, and Giant Swarm, which have leveraged it to offer diverse managed Kubernetes solutions. These solutions range from standalone products to comprehensive managed services...
