GitOps with Crossplane
Learn to deploy and manage Crossplane infrastructure using GitOps workflows with ArgoCD.

Lab Overview
Master GitOps workflows for infrastructure deployment using ArgoCD and Crossplane. Deploy S3 infrastructure through Git-driven workflows and learn GitOps best practices.
You'll learn to:
- Install and configure ArgoCD with Crossplane
- Create GitHub repository and configure authentication
- Structure GitOps repository with proper separation (providers, configs, platform APIs, environments)
- Deploy AWS providers, XRDs, and Compositions via ArgoCD applications
- Implement progressive deployment through dev → staging → prod environments
- Test GitOps drift detection and ArgoCD self-healing
- Demonstrate environment promotion through Git commits
- Apply progressive tier controls (basic → standard → premium)
- Test rollback capabilities through Git history
- Clean up resources using GitOps principles
This lab focuses on GitOps patterns for infrastructure management, not ArgoCD basics.
