A GitOps tool like Argo CD can help centralize the automation, installation, and configuration of services onto multiple Kubernetes clusters. Rather than apply changes using a Kubernetes CLI or CI/CD, a GitOps workflow detects changes in version control and applies the changes automatically in the cluster. You can use a GitOps workflow to deploy and manage changes to a Consul cluster, while orchestrating the configuration of Consul service mesh for peering, network policy, and gateways. This approach to managing your Consul cluster and configuration has two benefits. First, a GitOps tool handles the order-of-operations and automation of cluster updates before configuration updates. Second, your Consul configuration uses version control as a source of truth that GitOps enforces across multiple Kubernetes clusters. This post demonstrates a GitOps workflow for deploying a Consul cluster, configuring its service mesh, and upgrading its server with Argo CD. Argo CD annotations for sync waves and resource hooks enable orchestration of Consul cluster deployment followed by service mesh configuration with Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs). Updating a Consul cluster on Kubernetes involves opening a pull request with changes to Helm chart values or CRDs and merging it. Argo CD synchronizes the configuration to match version control and handles the order of operations when applying the changes... View the full article

Hi. I have a problem with parsing token for authorization in ArgoCD. Bearer token passed to me in "header" from 3rd party Oauth2(not GitHub, Google, etc). How I can parse this token and use it for ArgoCD server authorization? In my configuration I don't point "issuer:" because my Oauth2 provider(it's custom our provider) automatically transmit JWT to argocd-server/ Any idea how I can resolve this issue?

Palo Alto Networks has added support for GitHub Actions, GitLab Runners, CircleCI and Argo Workflows to Checkov, an open source tool that scans programmatically provisioned infrastructure for misconfigurations. Guy Eisenkot, senior director of product at Bridgecrew by Prisma Cloud at Palo Alto Networks, said the goal is to make it easier to secure configurations created […] The post Palo Alto Networks Extends Checkov Tool for Securing Infrastructure appeared first on DevOps.com.

Satisfying Developer Requests We have recently been in a situation where our customer wanted to just give access to the developers to manage the right projects in OpenShift. Developers at the same time, needed to create applications on OpenShift without needing to consult administrators for access to ArgoCD/OpenShift GitOps. This has increased in importance for non-production environments. If a developer team has gone through the effort of requesting budget, time, and resources to develop a new application on OpenShift, should they really wait for an administrator to change settings for them to get started?

GitOps is a term that has become very popular in the last few years and is easily on its way to becoming just as overloaded with myth and mystery as DevOps. In this series of articles, we will present the principles and practices of GitOps, explaining the why and how of the automated processes that aim to deliver secure, high-quality, microservice-based applications quickly and efficiently. In part 1 of the series, we introduced the main concepts of GitOps, together with the open source automation technology Tekton and ArgoCD. These tools operate on the Red Hat OpenShift platform to deliver a cloud-native continuous integration and continuous delivery process. The first article also gave an indicative structure for Git repository and ArgoCD applications that can create a secure and audited process for the delivery to production. This article will continue the series by explaining how container images produced during the continuous integration phase can be successfully managed and used within the continuous delivery phase.
