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 Kargo agent with access to the above ArgoCD instance so it can notify and monitor ArgoCD progress
  • install Akuity's ArgoCD agent in the EKS cluster from above
  • Install Akuity's Kargo agent in the EKS cluster from above
• argocd-bootstrap creates a handful of 'projects' and seeds them with app-of-app configuration pointint to platform team repos.
  • components cluster add-ons like prometheus, metrics-server, and external-secrets
  • apps the sample application representing business workloads
  • kargo the project and workflow definitions for Kargo
  • secrets External-Secrets manager SecretStores connected to AWS Secrets Manager, used by Kargo
