ArgoCD Apps Structure

This repository uses the App of Apps pattern to manage multiple Kubernetes applications through ArgoCD.

Structure

.
├── root-app.yaml           # Root application that manages all apps
├── apps/                   # ArgoCD Application manifests
│   └── metrics-server.yaml # Individual app definitions
└── charts/                 # Helm values and configurations
    └── metrics-server/
        └── values.yaml     # Custom values for metrics-server

Usage

1. Add this repository to ArgoCD:

   kubectl apply -f root-app.yaml
   

2. Add new applications:

   • Create a new Application manifest in apps/
   • (Optional) Add custom Helm values in charts/<app-name>/
   • Commit and push - ArgoCD will automatically sync

How it works

• root-app.yaml is the entry point that watches the apps/ directory
• Any YAML files added to apps/ will be automatically deployed by ArgoCD
• Each app can reference external Helm charts or local manifests
• Custom values can be provided in the charts/ directory
