Deploying and Managing Virtual Machines on ROSA with OpenShift GitOps

One of the great things about OpenShift Virtualization is that it brings new capabilities to run virtual machines alongside your containers AND using DevOps processes to manage them. This tutorial will show how to configure OpenShift GitOps ( based on ArgoCD ) to deploy and managed virtual machines. Pre-requisites A ROSA Cluster with OpenShift Virtualization (see Deploying OpenShift Virtualization on ROSA ) If you follow the guide above, you can skip the Create a Virtual Machine section as we will be using OpenShift GitOps to deploy the cluster.

Creating ROSA Components with GitOps

Many organizations want to use GitOps methodologies as a main part of their operational practices. Often times, this includes infrastructure as well. The advantage to this practice is that anything controlled in this manner can exist as infrastructure-as-code, by way of Kubernetes YAML definitions, in a centralized repository backed by Git. Additionally, all processes and procedures become a part of the Git workflow with a standardized Continuous Deployment pipeline controlling the outcome.

Demonstrate GitOps on Managed OpenShift with ArgoCD

The purpose of this document is to help you get OpenShift GitOps running in your cluster, including deploying a sample application and demonstrating how ArgoCD ensures environment consistency. This demo assumes you have a Managed OpenShift Cluster available and cluster-admin rights.
