Manage workloads on ArgoCD

Workload management on ArgoCD

Now, let’s log into the user interface and see how the workloads are being managed through ArgoCD.

1. By default, the argocd-server service is not public. For the purpose of this workshop, we will use the Load Balancer to use.

kubectl patch svc blueprints-addon-argocd-server -n argocd -p '{"spec": {"type": "LoadBalancer"}}'

2. Wait 5 minutes, LoadBalancer is created.

export ARGOCD_SERVER=`kubectl get svc blueprints-addon-argocd-server -n argocd -o json | jq --raw-output '.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname'`

3. TYPE and EXTERNAL-IP on argo server service changed to LoadBalancer. Copy the EXTERNAL-IP of LoadBalancer.

kubectl get svc -n argocd

4. Open a browser and paste the EXTERNAL-IP of LoadBalancer in.

5. Implement automatic password generation and username is admin

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

6. After logging in, observe the workloads on the ArgoCD UI
