Akuity IaC Demo Project

This project uses terraform to bootstrap a full GitOps environment from scratch.
It is primarily intended for use by our field teams to demonstrate these capabilities, but may present a useful example or starting template for customers.

It logically represents the "base" layer often controlled by infrastructure teams, and does not configure individual application manifests.

Directories

  • core-env this folder contains 2 modules:
    • aws provisions base AWS resources including IAM roles used by the pipeline and operators. and domain used by deployed apps. Customers will most likely already have solutions for this base layer.
    • eks-clusters provisions a VPC and small EKS cluster to host sample applications and Akuity local agents. It installs ingress-nginx tied to the demo domain.
  • akuity-bootstrap requires an existing Akuity Org and API key with admin rights. The terraform module will:
    • provision an AKP instance (Enterprise ArgoCD) with Akuity Intelligence & AI Powered Runbooks enabled
    • provision an Enterprise Kargo instance
    • register the Kargo instance (cluster) to the ArgoCD instance so we can GitOps Kargo config
    • install a self-managed Kargo agent (sedemo-primary) in the EKS cluster with access to the ArgoCD instance
    • install Akuity's ArgoCD agent in the EKS cluster
    • create the top-level app-of-apps ArgoCD Application pointing to bootstrap/ in the platform repo
  • argocd-bootstrap creates ArgoCD projects and seeds the app-of-apps configuration pointing to the platform repo.
    • components cluster add-ons like prometheus, metrics-server, and external-secrets
    • apps the sample applications representing business workloads
    • secrets External-Secrets manager SecretStores connected to AWS Secrets Manager, used by Kargo
