Setting up your environment

In this chapter, we will create several namespaces to install Argo CD and deploy an example Helm chart across different namespaces.

Run the following commands to prepare your environment:

1. Start minikube by running the minikube start command:

   $ minikube start

2. Then, create a new namespace called argo, where we will later install Argo CD:

   $ kubectl create namespace argo

3. Next, create a namespace called chapter10, where we will deploy an example Helm chart from Argo CD:

   $ kubectl create namespace chapter10

4. Finally, create two namespaces called chapter10-dev and chapter10-prod. We will use these namespaces to demonstrate deploying a Helm chart across multiple environments using Argo CD:

   $ kubectl create namespace chapter10-dev
   $ kubectl create namespace chapter10-prod

With your minikube environment ready and your namespaces created, let’s begin by deploying Argo CD. Then, we will walk through examples of using Argo CD to deploy...
