A real CI/CD pipeline

We discussed Argo Rollouts and how it works, and the deployment strategies, but how can we adapt all these in a real production environment? How can we integrate Argo Rollouts and automate the rollout without the need for manual approval? In this section, we will minimize failed deployments with Argo Rollouts and Argo CD and bootstrap our K8s cluster ready with Argo Rollouts.

Setting up Argo Rollouts

In Chapter 5, Argo CD Bootstrap K8s Cluster, we bootstrapped the EKS cluster we created with Terraform, and we will evolve this to include Argo Rollouts in the bootstrap. So, we will create another new Argo application for Argo Rollouts under the ch05/terraform/k8s-bootstrap/base directory. The following declarative manifest is the Argo application for bootstrapping the cluster with Argo Rollouts:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: argo-cd
  finalizers:
    - resources-finalizer.argocd...
