Deploying an Application with Argo CD

Take a look at the demo application

Now that we have Argo CD up and running, let’s take a look at one of the demo applications we'll deploy.

Kubernetes YAML files that define the application are in the k8s directory. Let’s take a peek at what’s inside.

The output is as follows.

We can probably guess from the names of those files that there's a Deployment, an Ingress, and a Service. There’s probably no need to look at the content. They're as ordinary and uneventful as they can be.

We could execute something like kubectl apply --file k8s to deploy that application, but we won't. We’ll take a different approach.
