GitOps Workflows with ArgoCD and Flux
In this virtual internship track, students will learn how to implement GitOps principles for Kubernetes cluster management and application deployment using ArgoCD and Flux. They will gain hands-on experience in setting up and managing GitOps workflows, automating deployments, and ensuring the desired state of their Kubernetes infrastructure and applications.
Track Overview
Tasks & Milestones
Explore GitOps Principles
IntermediateIn this task, students will research and understand the key principles of GitOps, including declarative infrastructure, continuous delivery, and self-healing.
Kubernetes Cluster Setup
IntermediateIn this task, students will set up a Kubernetes cluster that will be used for the subsequent GitOps-related tasks.
Install and Configure ArgoCD
IntermediateIn this task, students will install and configure ArgoCD in their Kubernetes cluster.
Manage Kubernetes Resources with ArgoCD
