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.
