• Argo CD
• Cert-Manager
• CloudNativePG
• CoreDNS
• Crossplane
• Gateway API
• Istio
• Keycloak
• Reflector
• Sealed Secrets
• Whoami

The following alerting, monitoring, and observability services will be coming soon:

• Kiali

Requirements

The following tools below are required to deploy a local development cluster.

• Docker
• K3d
• Kubectl
• Kustomize
• Helm

Additionally, secret keys are necessary in order to decrypt the sensitive values that are stored in this repository. Paste the contents of the provided secret (Ask Dennis) into a file named vernal-keys.secret.yaml in the root of this repository.

It should look something like this:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  labels:
    sealedsecrets.bitnami.com/sealed-secrets-key: active
  name: vernal-keys
  namespace: kube-system
data:
  tls.crt: ...
  tls.key: ...
type: kubernetes.io/tls

Deployment

To deploy and bootstrap a local development cluster, run the provided script.

./bootstrap.sh

Note: This process may take upwards of 15 minutes to complete.

Post Deployment

Once the deployment and bootstrapping process is complete, it is best practice to permanently delete the vernal-keys.secret.yaml file in order to prevent any security issues.

Several services should now be accessible from the browser.
