#Creating GitOps ApplicationSet

#Overview

Leverage Alauda Container Platform GitOps application management capabilities to visually create Argo CD ApplicationSet for comprehensive lifecycle management of containerized applications through GitOps Applications.

#Prerequisites

• Installing Alauda Container Platform GitOps:

  • If not installed, please contact the Administrator to Installing Alauda Container Platform GitOps

• Git Repository Integration (Choose one method):

  • Integrating Code Repositories via Argo CD dashboard
  • The Administrator must provision Code Repositories through DevOps Toolchain > Integrate

#Key Benefits

• Visual GitOps Application Distribution: Combines multi-cluster management, differential configurations, and platform-aligned visual operations for simplified multi-cloud/multi-environment deployments.

#Creating GitOps Application

Streamline application distribution through visual management interfaces.

#Procedure

1. Container Platform, and navigate to GitOps Applications.

2. Click on Create GitOps Application.

3. Configure parameters in Basic Info and Code Repository sections:

4. Configure parameters in Destination sections:

   • Application: Differential configs don't modify base files in source directory.

   • ApplicationSet: Multi-cluster deployment with Differentiated Configuration.

   Note: Differentiated Configuration don't modify base files in Source Directory.

5. Sync Policy (3-minute reconciliation interval).

   Parameter	Description
   Manually Sync	Requires user confirmation when drift detected
   Automatic Sync	Automatic reconciliation without human intervention
   Sync Ignore Configuration	Configure using built-in/custom ignore templates, you can View Sync Ignore Configuration Fields in YAML File Note: Custom templates require admin configuration

6. Click Create.

#View Sync Ignore Configuration Fields in YAML File

After configuring sync ignore rules, verify via:

1. Navigate to GitOps Application.

2. Select target application.

3. Click Action > Update.

4. Inspect YAML file.

   ignoreDifferences: # The configuration actually ignored by the selected custom synchronization ignore configuration template
     - group: apps
       kind: Deployment
       jsonPointers:
         - /spec/replicas
