rad-k8s

a rad repo to jump start your k8s environment, the goal of this project is to provide a simple way to get a k8s cluster up and running with everything needed to get started. It is opinionated and will be based on the following assumptions:

• code repos on github
• helm is used for deploying your services

Local machine or vm must that will bootstrap the cluster:

• install helm
• install argocd cli
• install vault cli

Make sure a cluster (GCP, DO, AWS, Kind, Docker desktop) is running and that it is accessible with kubectl

1. fork https://github.com/lateflip-io/rad-k8s name to whatever you like and make it private
2. clone the repo locally or a running VM
3. run ./bootstrap.sh
4. kubectl port-forward vault-0 8200 &
5. run: vault kv put secret/credentials/github GITHUB_USER=base64-username
6. run: vault kv put secret/credentials/github GITHUB_PASS=base64-password
7. run: vault kv put secret/demosecret/aws GITHUB_REPO=base64-url
8. run: kubectl apply -f control-plane/infrastructure/secrets/github-credential-template.yaml
9. kubectl port-forward service/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443
10. http://localhost:8080
11. get admin credentials: kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d
12. login to argocd with admin and the password

This will setup the following:

• gitops first
• argocd for syncing
• crossplane for provisioning
• generic helm charts for backend service deployments
• argo workflows
• apisix for api gateway
• keda for autoscaling and serverless
• vault secrets management vswh
