Pipeline Tooling & GitOps Workflow

intermediategitopsdevopsci/cd

Implement GitOps and pipeline-as-code using ArgoCD, Flux, and IaC tools

← Back to Intermediate

Learning Objectives

Define pipeline as code for automated workflows

Configure ArgoCD or Flux for GitOps deployments

Use Terraform or Pulumi for infrastructure provisioning

Manage application manifests with Helm charts

Implement approval workflows in your GitOps process

Requirements

  1. Store Kubernetes manifests or Helm charts in a Git repo
  2. Install and configure ArgoCD or Flux to watch the repo
  3. Provision cluster infrastructure with Terraform or Pulumi
  4. Deploy applications via the GitOps controller
  5. Configure automated sync and manual approval gates

Stretch goals

  • Implement drift detection and automated reconciliation
  • Use Kustomize overlays for environment differentiation
  • Integrate secret management into GitOps flows

Deliverables

  • Git repo with pipeline-as-code and manifests
  • ArgoCD/Flux installation and Application CRs
  • Terraform/Pulumi code for infrastructure provisioning

You’ll achieve a declarative, Git-driven deployment model.
