Overview

This repo is organised in an argo app of apps pattern leveraging argo application sets to provision and install various helm charts and capabilities into the targeted kubernetes clusters

• When the metis app charts are installed either as manifests, or helm this will result in the creation of various argo application sets configured with cluster gen
• These application sets mapping to the metis "chart modules" will create argo applications
• Each application created represents a toolset, operator or workload that will be provisioned into the cluster/s provisioned for a capability

Repo Structure

There are two folders each containing helm charts used for installing various argocd CRDs.

charts-modules

These are a collection of Helm Charts organised as "modules". Each chart module is a collection of argo applications, ArgoCD config and namespaces config for various related addons , operator and kubernetes workloads.

see Chart Modules

charts-bootstrap

metis application sets

The metis appset chart contains a collection of argo applicationSets

The metis argo applications sets will generate argo applications based of the helm charts in this repo.
