Internal Development Platform (IDP)

The K3d provisioning process will:

• Create 3 virtual workload clusters for each default environment (Development, Staging & Production).
• Create a gitops Git repository from our gitops-template and store it in your selected Git provider.
• Install Argo CD bootstrapped against your gitops repository so your repository powers the platform, and become your source of truth.
• Install all the platform applications using GitOps (from the /registry folder in the gitops repository).
• Apply Terraform to configure Vault (from the /terraform/vault folder in the gitops repository).
• Configure the gitops repository to automatically run Terraform executions through Atlantis.
• Integrate Argo Workflows with your selected Git provider.
• Install Argo Workflows cluster workflow templates to build containers, publish Helm charts, and provide the GitOps delivery pipelines.
• Install metaphor, a sample application that uses this automation to demonstrate app delivery.
