A

A

A

Let's get into the big topic of open source, something that we.

B

Actually have awesome.

A

A

A developer, let's say.

B

Has the kubernetes ecosystem really boom.

A

All right and we are live- welcome everyone to another, exciting episode of get ops guide to the galaxy I'll, be your captain here, um christian hernandez, technical marketing here at red hat um and with me, I have a special co-captain today here with me. I'm very very excited uh to have hannah here from code. Fresh hannah have uh how happy you're uh introduce yourself give give like the usual spiel right like where we can like and subscribe. You know what you're doing refresh your title: all that cool stuff.

B

Thanks um yeah I'm hannah sullickson and I'm a developer advocate over at code fresh um code fresh, is essentially a continuous, continuous delivery platform um and we're all about argo and git ops. So I'm really excited to be here. um But before being a da, I was actually a net developer for a really long time.

A

B

Ops is like you know when I think of ways that we could have improved our processes when I was a developer, I'm like oh geez, okay, um but but yeah. So that's that's essentially my a little bit about me, but um I'm excited to talk about our go cd. Autopilot with you guys, do a demo and talk about all things: git, ops, so.

A

Wow so like yeah so net, so right, I'm telling you right now: that's a big pivot right you're! You.

B

A

You know going from.net for those who don't know.net right, like you're talking about like a monolith like on a single server and then like. I can't imagine you like being dumped in this world now or it's like.

B

A

I'm gonna do get ups and it's like whoa. This is completely different. Yeah.

B

It is, it is yeah, so it's like, but I'm excited and I feel like so admittedly, a lot of the things I like to talk about are beginners stuff, but you know there's always room for that and yeah. I just it's so funny, because now everything that I get to work on, I'm like, oh, I gotta tell like my friends who are still stuck in yeah.net and typing in c sharp like let's here, let's, let's talk about this: let's talk about infrastructure and they're like what's kubernetes so yeah.

A

Yeah yeah well, yeah, I mean there's, there's a there's, this thing where it's like: when do you stop doing in um like kind of like beginner stuff? And it's like you, never really do, because it's like not everyone knows what you're doing yeah. So it's um it's really cool, so so yeah so excited to have you here uh excited to talk about autopilot right, which is like uh a project of um yeah tiger says? Yes, what is kubernetes um so uh tiger? The intern you'll always be the intern to me.

A

um So just a few things, real, quick kind of um top of mind um topics here kind of like what andrew does um argo cd version.

A

2.3 is um it's out so um uh so 2.3 is out a big release by the way, because it includes application, sets and argo cd uh notifications right um and so, um which is kind of cool like they included that part of the product, because, like I use them both a lot as part of argo cd like I don't no longer have to like start loading things in um I'm gonna do um an episode, maybe one day, unargo notifications, because it's actually a really cool project.

A

um So I've been playing with that and it's really cool um so check that out. Actually let me put, let me put that link. I had the link up and I closed it without sharing it, um which was kind of weird for me, but um let me put that in the chat for you guys to check out the blog. um You know talking about argo cd uh version. 2.3, can you read all about it? um Kubecon schedule is out which is.

B

A

Exciting hannah- I don't know about you, but my talk didn't get accepted.

B

Yeah- it's very few. I like, unfortunately, not right well. I think I think.

A

We're in good company right, because a lot of people's talks hasn't uh didn't get accepted.

B

It's true yeah yeah,.

A

It's it's! So it's it's hard right! It's it's a hard thing. It.

B

A

um So um but I'll still be there right, I'll still be at kubecon in uh eu, um and so the um um let me drop the where's, the kubecon schedule yeah. Oh, I already did all right cool I'm like did. I drop that in the chat. Yes, I did so um um so yeah so um I'll, be there. So for those for those who will be there, you can wave me down I'll, be at get ups con as well. um So that's that's all! um um It's all cool!

A

um You know if you're gonna be a get ups, if you're gonna be at kubecon, I I'll I'll tell you everyone right like you need to be at get ups con as well right. So if I see a kubecon, but if I didn't see you, I get upscan, I'm gonna have a conversation with you um and so.

B

That's where we actually met we met at get ops con. That's.

A

Right we did, we met up get up on here. um I I point here because that's where the convention center is here.

B

In los angeles, I live here in los angeles.

A

So um yes yeah so- and this is actually where I got, that shirt.

B

Yeah, we were almost twins almost.

A

Yeah, so um so yeah so um be there. Maybe you'll get another shirt. I don't know we'll see. Yeah yeah, there's shirts, shirts, galore dan still owes me a hoodie by the way does.

B

It okay, okay,.

A

Those are nice hoodies. I should have yeah it's just yeah yeah he's watching you still. You saw.

A

And so uh so yeah, so um the the schedule is out so go ahead and check that out. um The schedules also see see what you can see, what you can't see we're still working on the getupscon schedule, so that will um you know I'm part of a part of the programming committee. There we're.

B

A

That'll that'll be out pretty soon and so um take a look for that so um yeah so anyways, um oh uh yeah waleed. He says: there's the the rejects um conference. I hope they're doing.

B

That again, right.

A

That's always really cool to go see like hey. I want to be part of the losers. That's that's really good, um but.

B

It's a community for everybody, yeah! That's.

A

Right exactly there's a community for everyone right I mean if.

B

A

We'll be in good company at least right, like yeah yeah,.

B

A

So so yeah so um yeah without further ado. um Let's talk about uh argo, uh argo city, autopilot right and so, let's, let's, uh let's, let's dive right in right, let's um and for those who are um who are in the chat, feel free to drop questions in the chat um and also just like always like subscribe share all that cool stuff. So so hannah talk about argo, cd, autopilot. You.

B

Got it um so argo cd autopilot, it's still a fairly new project. It's part of the argo project, argo labs.

B

um So, if you actually head on over to, if you, if you just look at their github, you can actually access that um and what I'm going to be doing today is telling you a little bit about argo cd autopilot, but I'm also going to be doing a live demo as far as how to use it and I'm going to be showcasing you how to use multiple clusters how to use you know how to create an application, have multiple environments and then we're actually going to make a small change and promote that change from staging to production and show you what that looks like.

B

um So, I guess just to start off a little bit about argo cd autopilot.

B

um I like to call it like the the kickstarter, for um you know, get ups deployments because, like I said, being a prior.net dev, I think whenever it comes to like changing a deployment process, it's pretty intimidating, it's a little daunting, um and so I think that's why our autopilot is so helpful. It was actually believe it or not. It was actually developed by the code fresh engineer, team engineering team.

B

They they were the ones who started this idea and what it is is it's essentially a bootstrap that creates a directory and its structure so that you can actually manage all of your argo cd applications using github. So starting from your repository- and it just gives you a really simple pattern on how to like make updates to your application, how to promote change changes, um and it just makes life a little bit easier when you're managing multiple environments with multiple clusters.

A

Yeah I imagine like coming from um coming from.net right, you like it's like hey. We have something better. Instead of touching one things you get to touch 100 things and you're like how is that even better like how you know how is managing deployments that way better? So um so that's why there's like projects like autopilot to kind of help ease you know not have to know you know all the little bits and pieces that you need to touch.

B

Yeah because I think it ups as a as a just a whole sometimes seems more intimidating than it really is, um and so for me, I think, get upset and I'm you know, I'm not gonna explain too much about what it is because I feel like if you're here, you probably have a good idea of what get up but uh but yeah, but for those who don't and are just like want to get it want to start deploying using argo cd um and then are managing, like, I said, multiple environments with different clusters.

B

This is a good solution, um so I'm gonna start sharing my screen and I'm going to just kind of walk you through a basic install with the bootstrap, we're going to create an application.

B

I'm going to create two argo instances, one for staging and one for production and then what's cool, is I'm actually going to be using an open shift cluster for our production environment? um So christian helped me out with that.

A

Which we like here, yeah yeah, exactly.

B

I know so um so. Yes, I'm excited to show you guys that and now we'll just kind of dive into my terminal, um and then those of you who, like I mentioned before um argo cd autopilot, is part of the argo proj labs. um It's got a very simple overview as far as installing the cli and then once you get the cli installed.

B

What your first step will be is the way that autopilot speaks to your repository is you're, going to get a personal access. Token from your github account, so you simply just go to your github account go to your settings developer settings and then you essentially are just going to export that token um and then so. I've already done that and then what you're also going to do is what's interesting about autopilot as well.

B

You have the option to use an existing application that already exists within your github repository, but it'll also actually create create one for you, but it only catches, it just private, um but it's nice that it it kind of just takes at least that stress away from you as well. So if you're just getting started, it's pretty simple.

B

Okay, so I've already, like I said, exported my token. um I also exported this repo and now we're gonna actually go straight into this bootstrap.

B

Oh gosh, sorry, everything got really big before we got on so yes,.

A

A

B

All right- and so I'm already on my openshift cluster, and so as you can see, it's actually newing up argo cd um and it's something I wanted to show you guys. While this is doing that um within the project itself, it has these two resources right, because I saw someone that even asked a question before like well. Do I have the choice with argo, cd or autopilot?

B

Argo cd is incorporated into autopilot, so you're actually able to install argo cd from your git repository.

B

So it has these two resources which, like I said, it's installing argo cd and it's also installing application sets. So that's that was really cool to me because I was like how is it doing this? Okay um so there so we're still gonna wait for this, while it's still going, but just to kind of give you a little overview of what it is. It's creating my namespace, um it's it's referencing this repository um and it's just installing it's installing, essentially the application and or the project and the directory structure. So we'll look at that.

B

Hopefully, that'll it'll happen soon.

A

B

A

Right, bootstrap application, so this is um this is um essentially kind of takes the guesswork out of how to get started right so like for those who are always um there's people always asking me how to get started with like argo cd, and it's really the um autopilot. It's like a really good way to kind of just like just get started and just get everything that you need um all you know all in one place.

B

Exactly so, what we can do now is what it does. Is it actually, it provides a port forward command and then a password. So now we can access the argo cd ui. So I'm going to do that right now,.

B

A

Oh so daniel's on by the way for those who don't know daniel is from acuity. So another argo, big argo user um he's on uh so he's waving, I'm waving back hello, daniel!

A

Thank you for joining us cool cool.

B

Oh, I think, because, okay, let's see, I think, I'm.

B

Let's see, I'm gonna move.

A

Is it not forwarding the port.

B

Yeah hair from server.

B

Oh, I just didn't want to do it in this terminal.

B

hmm ah Let's see, let's see.

A

I wonder if you're not logged in in the other session, maybe.

B

Yeah essentially here, let me sorry about that guys.

A

Oh no worries they. They everyone here loves a good debugging.

B

I knew it would be some hiccup, so admittedly, guys thanks. This is my first live demo that I've ever.

A

B

So it's it's essentially. It doesn't surprise me that I'm like oh, oh, no, okay, great.

A

Yeah, excuse me, oh look, looks uh gnome gnome gal said. Maybe.

B

A

Yeah, maybe I was gonna say it looks like a code fresh person. Maybe your current contacts on the new terminal is different than kate's cluster than the one you installed on. Maybe.

B

Correct he's he's right, know me right, I think so, uh but let's see so this is my. This is my open shift cluster. um Let's see.

A

So tiger says: live stream driven deployment. I like that.

A

B

No pressure right, you feel you're like.

A

You're sweating right now, like no it's fine. I.

B

A

That context needs to change the port forward.

B

B

Okay, there we go there.

A

You go, you got it.

B

I think so crossing.

A

B

B

A

You see here, uh waleed yeah, oh waleed is talking about uh the flamingo, which is I would I would. I would want to get um I'm going to butcher this name chen wit chenwit on actually on us on a stream. I I want to I'm going to hear more about that, um which is a flux subsystem for argo, which is gonna, which is kind of um um I think, first of its kind, so that that'd be that'd, be cool to have them I'll.

B

A

Out to them, oh here we go, you got it. Oh, maybe refresh there we go. Oh that's what we want to see.

A

B

Right so I'm going to put in my admin as my username and then it already provides me. My password in plain text so go over here.

B

Alrighty, oh look at that. You.

A

Already have stuff going on.

B

Yeah, so essentially, this is this is what's so cool I think about autopilot is that it really does just take a lot of the work out from you. I don't know I feel like if anybody has ever gone through the argo cd getting started, guide and you're a newbie right.

B

Sometimes it can, it can be a little confusing or you're just not sure how how to get started, and I just think it really is just such a good foundation and a base for people who want to get want who want to start deploying using get ops.

B

A

Yeah, I feel yeah. I I also so like. That's like good good and bad right. So it's it's it's bad because it's like when you are um trying to uh trying to get started. It could be a little frustrating, but it's, but it's like kind of like the design of kind of argo in in a way right because, like it's like that's how like it's like, um you, you you and I were laughing about, like the quote. I did for like argo cds, kind of purposely dumb like, but I mean like in a good way.

A

It's like it's indigenous.

B

A

It's just like it. It's you know like how do I do this well, you're gonna have to build it. How are you gonna do this well, you're gonna have to build it. So yeah.

B

A

Which is why projects like this exist right, like so autopilot, tries to try to help you along your way.

B

Yep exactly um so now, what we're going to do we're going to actually create a argo cd project for our production um and so what what a project is, it's you can think of it essentially as an environment.

B

um So what we're going to do is we're now creating this prod environment, and this is going to be our instance of argo cd. That will essentially be like a default.

B

A default destination um and you'll be able to see this in action once we actually get to the staging part, and so now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to install an application to prod.

B

Let's go back over here and let me know if here things are so big, so I apologize.

B

Okay, so what we're doing here in this command is we're creating an application, I'm actually going to reference the example that they have within the autopilot project and then I'm assigning it as prod. So we're just specifying that, for this.

A

Okay, that's pretty cool yeah.

B

A

Just hit enter and it did it. Nice yeah.

B

And what's also really cool about it is that by just by us specifying this as prod it we're. Essentially it's we're specifying our repo and where our application manifests are as well by pointing it to our github and, like I mentioned that demo app from the argo project that you can use and spin up just to get familiar with this um and then also what we're going to do. Next and oh, I should note, within this repository I'll I'll, show you that in a minute um it has already a manifest and it's using customized.

B

um So if you're not familiar with customize, it's it's similar to home. um It's got a little bit more flexibility and it essentially provides a basin and overlay and that's actually how we'll be making our changes across the different environments.

B

um So now, what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to create a argo instance for staging.

A

So yeah I'd be curious to see that that repo, when you show it in a little bit because.

B

A

That's really awesome: it takes a lot of the guesswork on trying to like create bases and overlays for your environment. It's just.

B

A

If, if this tool, just did it for me fantastic right.

B

Like yeah yeah, less.

A

Thing I have to think about it's like no, it just does it for me, because it could get kind of confusing trying to no.

B

It can it can be using your overlays yeah, and I remember I actually um I actually oh hold on. Let's see, I'm gonna delete sorry about that.

A

Yeah ctrl c ctrl c.

B

um So something I wanted to mention um with customize, especially it's, I think so with autopilot right now. It supports manifest for customize and just plain manifest. I think in the future they are hoping to also support helm templates, so helm charts, um and I don't, I think, there's currently an issue for that within the project itself. So if someone is eager to contribute to that- or it also is like hey like yeah, I'm a home user, I want to use this. You know what can I do to help out?

B

I'm sure the engineers would love that, um and so also so now that we're starting for staging the reason I canceled. That was because I was like oh crap, like I don't want to put this on my production cluster. We want to use a staging cluster, so I've just kind of nude up just a plain kubernetes cluster. Nothing really fancy to it, and so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to paste that command that I had before and we're going to create the staging project and something to note about this.

B

Oh whoops, ah I keep doing this. I apologize.

B

You can tell that I was testing this and I was not specifying specific things, um but something that is really cool about this ability is that I'm actually able to include a port forward. So it's going to forward to the same name space as argo cd, so that I can actually use the cube context for the staging cluster and the port forward command basically tells that cluster how to connect and deploy.

B

So, let's see so we're going to use just a docker desktop.

B

B

So, like I mentioned.

A

B

Oh whoops, okay, let's see hmm get token repo not set. Oh.

B

This is huh it's another context issue. Let's see.

A

Ctl context: let's see if anyone can help us out here like if anyone can do that from memory, I'm always impressed right. I always have to type it out myself.

B

It's what is it current.

A

I think it's yeah context I always have to tab through it.

B

B

A

Current context.

B

I think yeah config current context.

B

Yeah docker desktop, but I wonder christian you might be actually able to answer this question for me. So when I was using an open shift cluster, um I noticed that when I wasn't able and- and I want to preface this- I am still a newbie so.

A

B

A terminal is still new to me, um but I guess I'm curious with this openshift cluster.

B

um I'm able to access it locally, but I am having a trouble, I'm having trouble within the same terminal accessing my other contexts um and so because, when I try to when I, for example, in here cube, cto or cube cuddle config context, I'm only able to view my open shift. But I do in fact obviously.

A

Yeah, I wonder if you do an echo of um of dollar sign, uh cube config. I wonder if you're, just using different cube, config files.

B

A

uh Capital capital cube, you know all caps, yeah.

B

Oh yeah cube and then I think it's underscore.

A

uh No underscores just keep config. Okay with that without the underscore. That's yeah, if you echo that what is that? What does that give you? And I would do that in each terminal and see if they're the same.

B

A

Yeah. Okay, so that's that's! Your open shift. Yeah.

B

A

One that's using, and I.

B

A

The other one is using another file.

B

Yep, okay: um well, let's see.

A

Yeah, if anyone well so like you could log in, I guess to the I was gonna say: if anyone has a fancy jq to merge these two files, um I'll I'll, give you uh I'll give you a free t-shirt. If you can figure that out, um but.

B

I actually, but I can. I can actually do this pretty quickly if um you.

A

Could do an oc login on on the docker desktop one right.

B

A

If you do an oc login of um of whatever the you're gonna have to yeah so like.

B

You need to change.

A

That api example.

B

Yeah, let's see.

A

If you go up to the the window above you, if you do an os, um what is it uh oc, status or c um yeah, let's do status, it should tell you yeah, that's the api right. There.

B

A

All right, yeah tiger says I'll. I just cut the file and uh paste it into online, but that's not as cool yeah. That is cool right, like that. You gotta show your you gotta, show your geek grid, um yeah.

B

That's funny and then oops all right.

A

And then you're going to need your cube admin password somewhere.

B

Somewhere, give me one moment.

A

Oh interesting, what's if you, if you want to, if you want to try walid, said that you can specify different cube, config files.

B

A

If you yeah, if you export, I never tried that that is. I.

B

Haven't either that's a good idea, though,.

A

Yeah, if that works, then you get a t-shirt wallet, although shipping to you, while it is very expensive, just let you know.

B

A

He's uh he's, I think, he's in saudi arabia. I believe correct me when I'm wrong, but he it's we. We try to send them that.

B

Would be that's fine.

A

Socks once and that was really expensive.

B

A

Saudi arabia, okay, so yeah! If you can yes.

A

Virtual t-shirt, he says virtual t-shirt. We go we'll we'll uh we'll figure out a virtual t-shirt.

B

B

Okay, then something some server, but any data. Okay, we're just doing a demo.

B

A

Oh yeah, now, if you do um the uh the context, okay.

B

A

Like a cube, get or whatever that.

B

A

Yeah, it should show it there.

B

We go there, we go now. You can see all my clusters. Sorry there's so.

A

Many posters, don't judge me I was, I was judged by my.

B

Colleagues, it was so funny.

A

There's like so many clusters out there.

B

There really are okay, so.

A

Yeah there we go.

B

Oh, my goodness, thank you, everyone for your help.

A

Yeah, look at that. It's a it's a community like me.

B

It really is, I love it.

A

Yeah, we all did it. You know we all uh took apart.

B

We really did okay now.

B

And I was worried that this demo would be too short.

A

Oh there you go.

B

Apparently, not.

B

Okay, all right.

B

A

B

Yeah, I have a feeling that, let's see.

A

If I need to export it export cake or something.

B

Yeah, I think that's what I need to do real huh see.

A

We all promise to close our eyes, ready all right. Everyone.

A

You can take it off window, yeah.

B

Yeah, but it's funny I wanna uh know one of our engineers is giving me some tips so.

A

Just looking, I.

B

Was like oh okay,.

A

Yeah so it's uh see.

B

Add terminal we need to do it to config. Okay, I see okay.

B

Well, I I'm tempted to. I don't want to start from scratch, and but uh let's see, if I could do this quickly,.

B

Okay, I'm gonna.

B

Export my token.

B

B

And we're going to export the rebill.

B

A

I'm testing your your config out here in a separate window, so I want to prove out his theory here.

B

Oh, let's see oh no, I did it. I did get an error. Okay,.

B

hmm I cannot find pod with selector. That makes sense.

B

Okay- let's see so hmm I'm tempted to do this to start over.

A

Yeah you scorch scorch.

B

How do you do that.

A

That's no, that's also a good, a good way to that's, also a good thing to show right, like show users, okay, oh let me start over like how do you score.

B

Yeah yeah, um I guess I can I mean I can now. I think I know what the problem is. um So if everybody would be okay with that, I can try and do.

A

This really quickly.

B

A

B

All right, so I'm going to x out of this, and let's see, let's go to my repository- let's go refresh okay, so it did create the demo app and what's nice about this. Is that, like I mentioned it has your app um and then it also includes your base and your overlay. So we've only as far as the instructions that I've shared with you.

B

We've only created the overlay for prod, but once I am able to scratch this and start over again, you'll see both overlays for prod and staging, and then we will and then we'll make a change and promote that and we'll we'll get it done. So give me one second, I'm going to delete this or I can just create a new repository.

B

A

Well, that's, I think, that's one of the things I read about auto autopilot. You can either create a new repository or just point it to an existing one right. It'll it'll, take that cool.

B

Yeah yeah, so, let's see okay, I am going to use the.

B

And, of course, let's see, let's make this a little bit smaller just so I can be quick.

B

B

B

A

Yeah, someone said uh by the way it works. His export thing works, which I thought was crazy. Today I learned something today. So it's always it's a two-way street here right in this. It.

B

A

I learned something and I think it's really cool and when we get off, I'm gonna um tell everyone on the slack channel here at red hat, I'm like look.

B

Did you guys know this yeah.

A

I'm gonna look, I'm gonna, look like a dork, anyways um and also yes, uh walid earned an nft virtual t-shirt, so um well I'll try to get it to you. Somehow. um I'm work we're red hat, we're working on actually some cool t-shirts for for kubecon. So I I won't forget about you ali.

A

I uh I'm mad of my word.

B

All right so and then, let's see.

B

Okay, so what I'm doing right now is I'm just going to delete my namespace argo cd from the openshift cluster um and then what I'm going to do is I'm just going to start over again and go through the same steps that I already went with went through with all of you and then now that I've got this? I was actually a little worried about this terminal problem.

B

I was like I don't know, but uh but to say the least, um I think we'll be able to to get something up and running before before this session ends. So um if I'm quiet for a second, I apologize.

A

Yeah no worries yeah, you gotta.

B

A

Figure things out.

B

I almost I should have done a recording. I almost did that last night just to be safe and I was like no it'll be fine.

A

Yeah I've um um back before you know back when we used to travel back pre-covered. um That was like one of the things that we always tell each other right like for those who are presenting as like make sure you have a recording before so, because also internet access. I don't know if everyone that remembers internet access for.

B

A

Absolutely terrible so.

B

B

Actually, I feel, like christian you're, never going to invite me on here again.

A

B

Thinking I was like oh geez, like.

A

No, it's it's fine! Actually, I I embrace breakage um because a lot of the times so for- and this is like feedback that I've heard like over the years is like a lot.

B

A

Times like they um end users, people who are consuming like content, they're always like it always seems so perfect in the demo, but like when I try to do something. Things are always breaking and like it kind of, um I got the feedback before it's like it kind of makes me feel like I'm dumb, and it's like no like we're dumb off camera a lot of times, and so, which is why I like I, like this format on twitch streaming, is like I wanna, I don't mind being dumb on camera.

A

Like I, I've broken stuff many times. I've actually done multiple streams until I get it right um yeah. So it's um it's it's uh it's, which is why I like, like the twitch format right, it's like you, know, fine, let's, let's show all the ugly parts um it makes. People feel like. Okay, like maybe you know- maybe you know not getting it right away, is all right.

B

Yeah yeah, it's true and I I think for me. I I get a little bit of stage breaks, I'm like oh, it has to be perfect, but uh ultimately.

A

Yeah, it's it never.

B

It never really is.

A

It never is yeah and then that's okay, yeah like I, I I rarely get things right. The first time right we shouldn't make it seem, you know, which is why I'm like very anti-webinars, like because webinar is always like.

B

You didn't mention that yeah yeah everything's.

A

Perfect, it's like well, maybe not not all the time, people like people like seeing humanity right. It's like, of course,.

B

Yeah yeah, it's true, okay, so, let's see.

B

I am just finishing: okay. There we go.

B

Voila: okay, great: we had a clean cluster.

A

B

Okay, now I'm going to quickly try to start over and export the token again and as well as the repository, don't worry I'll share my screen soon.

A

It's yeah. Well I mean yeah you're, exporting tokens and all that that's also.

B

A

Worry that that that happened.

B

That's happened to me.

A

A few times where I was like well, I got to delete that token. Now I showed it. Everyone live.

B

I know that's it's. Oh gosh, it's the worst yeah and.

A

B

Important security, it's it's important! Yeah.

A

Security is important right. Yes, that's absolutely true. I remember even so, um I think everyone. um I always tell this story and I hope hope he doesn't mind that I always tell the story, but everyone knows steven augustus right from the cncf uh working at cisco. Now he was doing a stream on. um uh I guess at that point it was heptio um tgik where he tried like the whole stream. He tried to like not show his token and like at the very end like he did something and I could show all his tokens.

A

B

A

I messaged him privately, I'm like oh well. Now you have to rotate all those.

B

A

So it happens the best of us. Yes, it.

B

Does okay? Are we.

B

I think we're making progress, cool, okay,.

B

A

Oops there we go all right.

B

All right, let me make this bigger for you guys.

A

Yeah you make it a little bigger, maybe expand the screen. Maybe a little bit. You got it yeah! Oh here we go, you probably have one of those ultra white screens. I would imagine they do yeah, so yeah yeah, I'm.

B

Like so, it's probably smaller on your end.

A

Yeah yeah, it's probably huge for you, but for us it.

B

It is yes, I'm like you. Let me know. Okay, now, let's do another port forward.

B

Okay, we've got that beautiful, okay,.

A

We're gonna take our.

B

Password um so I'm not showing you guys anything new.

B

B

B

Admin is our username and I'm going to paste the password from the terminal I'm going to sign in.

A

Okay, all right, so it's still doing its thing here.

B

Still doing its thing.

B

B

B

Okay, hmm okay,.

A

B

A

This is interesting, so I have. I have a question here right.

B

A

There's this process here called root. What is what is, what is his root.

B

That's a good question: um let's click on this! Oh no, okay, um I know I'm like well um root is essentially it it's your root application which I feel like is a given, but um I oh.

A

Okay, I see it has like an application uh application set. You know, oh okay, so it's kind of like a um it manages all these little things right, like application set application project.

B

And I think I'm hopefully, let's see.

A

Yeah, let's look at the errors yeah. If you want to check out the errors we can yeah.

B

A

B

Red hat okay created this just wanted to make sure.

A

Make sure all the good stuff's there.

B

Yeah, let's go back to our application dashboard. We are missing something.

A

Yeah, what does the error say on root? What is I'm I'm I'm curious.

B

A

Now I'm invested now.

B

Like I'm all, I know.

A

B

It looks like it's waiting.

A

For some sort of.

B

Deletion, error timeout.

B

A

Looks like it's waiting for some. um What do you call it uh service to come up or something.

B

Yeah hmm running syncing, let's see.

A

Yeah, let's, let's take a look at the is there any pods that are erroring out.

B

Good question: okay: okay,.

A

Oh, uh so I have a question: did you bootstrap the wrong context.

B

No, oh sorry! No! I did not okay.

A

Okay, cool, oh yeah! I see it right. There default opening.

B

B

B

Okay, but we want to.

A

They do a dash, a right, get or capital a right, get pause capital, a.

A

Do we have any errors there.

A

B

Man, I really wanted to get this working before.

A

Oh yeah, look at that. Oh I'm rooting for you.

B

Here we go okay, so we are.

A

All right there we go all right, so that looks good everything's running yeah.

B

Argo cd, my application, set my controller, the server.

B

Maybe it is the cluster resources yeah.

A

Maybe it is an issue with that.

B

B

A

Bootstrap so bootstraps continue, so maybe bootstrap isn't finished that application.

B

hmm I didn't get any errors when it was bootstrapping.

A

Yeah because it says it checks it right, like.

B

Right right, let's see well.

B

B

I wish I wish I had a solution off the top of my head.

B

Let's see if I do hmm not.

A

Yeah there was a warning at the end. This um waleed said there was a warning at the end. So that's was that.

B

Oh, I think what happened was I installed autopilot, while the previous installation was still being deleted.

A

B

Yes, always yep yeah. I thought I deleted those. Oh no yeah. I think we've actually had a discussion about finalizers.

A

Yeah all of this finalizers, always for those who don't know we all we all hate final lasers,.

A

I mean they're good for what they do, but when they get in the way it's.

B

A

B

Exactly um okay.

A

Well now this means now we have to have you come on again I mean now. That's just. I think this was your plan, the whole time it's like. How can I get back on again? Let me let me well.

B

Now I'm determined everybody who attended.

A

B

If I wasted time but like.

A

B

Want to create a video and be like okay: this is how it.

A

B

A

Is supposed to happen.

B

Yeah cause, oh my goodness, um yeah, and so so yeah. uh I definitely yeah.

A

B

A

Worries um no no worries and, and um and you did want to talk about a few things right. Oh.

B

We did, I did yeah so.

A

I I do want to you know, I don't want to assume.

B

Any direction, but no, no, no, no, no warning that, like.

A

I give you your time right so.

B

Yeah, like you guys, have already sat here, you know waiting for me to troubleshoot. I won't make you do it again, um but something that I did want to mention is um the open source team. At code, fresh we've launched a get ops fundamentals course. So, if you're joining us and you're like- I don't even know what you're talking about like, I don't even know where to begin um it's.

B

This is a course, that's free, um you can sign up for it and you also can receive a certificate for completion, um but it really does highlight essentially just the basics with git ops, and it also provides a really nice introduction to argo cd. um So I, if you haven't, tried this yet I definitely suggest it, and I also wanted to share that right now. Our team we're currently working on a second course- and this is going to be a little bit more of like an intermediate level.

B

So it's going to be a step above just the basics and we're hoping to include things that are applied to scalability and such as like get repository creation strategies promoting releases across environments, advanced declarative, setups and app sets. Apps of apps um and I think, argo workflows because I think there's a huge. It's really.

A

B

A huge need for that, and um even myself, I've I've definitely taken some courses on workflows and um I try to work with it as much as I can. But there's still a lot. I don't know, and I think there's a lot that people want to learn more about. So I'm excited to to share that with everybody and we're hoping to have that, probably within q2 and if for anybody, who's not like familiar with quarters, probably within the next couple months.

B

um So so I'm really excited about that, because that's fully created by the code fresh team- and we just essentially want to give back to the community, and we want to just help everybody get on board when it comes to get ops and especially with argo, um because it really can just make your entire, whether you're using it for, like, I said your workflows um or your deployments. I think it can really benefit you and your organization, so um so yeah and also just any kind of project you're working on on the side.

B

I think it's it's fun to learn so so yeah.

A

Which is really cool so uh so, first and foremost, waleed said plus one for the course gone through it. It's fantastic. I agree. I I've, I told hannah, I slacked her. I told her. This is a fantastic course. Everyone actually some of the um some of the new engineers that we hired for openshift getups, um which isn't you know. We use argo cd on the back end. They said like. Oh this course is amazing, so, like it's really great uh to uh like a getting started course is it's still free.

A

So dan has always threatened that it won't.

B

Always be free, so so.

A

It's still free, okay, yes,.

B

A

On get on it before dan changes his mind, he keeps threatening that it's not going to be free for long.

B

So register yeah yeah, so please yeah definitely register and also just like. If you want um I'm on the cncf slack, uh you can find me under hannah selickson or you can tweet at me tech with hannah, because I'm always want to look like. I always want to know what you guys want to learn. I always want to know: where is there like a gap? um What can we contribute? What can we help with um so yeah just just feel free to ping me.

A

Yeah, yeah and then, and also I'm always on on the same boat right. It's like you know we build these things right like we as.

B

A

We, as you know, as um experienced engineers like we, we hope you like it, but we want we want. We love that feedback right. I don't know.

B

A

You hannah, I love the feedback, good bad.

B

A

Of it, we just give it all of it, because we it you know. Ultimately, we just want to build build for you guys so yeah.

B

A

Check that out check out the um uh the certifications right we dropped the uh the link in chat um reach out to us. You know any one of us right. Anyone at quote fresh uh myself. I can give you the link directly. um Yes, yes, dan said my shirt is awesome because, yes, because yeah you're, this is the one you guys you guys gave me so I do.

B

A

Might we'll see right um and so so yeah so um next time I'm actually taking some pto, so uh oh it'll be a little bit before we come back on, but I have some cool guests uh lined up and some cool hacking sessions with. Like argo events, argo image updaters um so we'll be back in april um april, 7th so um so yeah. So um I guess yeah with that. Everyone um stay safe out there and, as I always say, if it's not in git, it's only a rumor so bye, everyone cheers.
