Part 2: Deploy

What Will You Do

In this section you will

• Create a namespace for the workloads
• Deploy a YAML workload
• Deploy a Helm workload

Step 1: Create Namespace

In this step, you will create a namespace for the workloads.

• In your project, navigate to Infrastructure -> Namespaces

• Click New Namespace

• Enter gitops-workloads for the name

• Select Wizard for the Type

• Click Save

• Click Save & Go To Placement

• Select the cluster to create the namespace on

• Click Save & Go To Publish

• Click Publish

The namespace is now published on the cluster.

• Click Exit

Step 2: Create YAML Workload

You will now create a sample YAML workload which will contain multiple resources. The workload will be used to demonstrate the workload lifecycle management of YAML workloads through GitOps.

• In your project, navigate to Applications -> Workloads

• Click New Workload -> Create New Workload

• Enter yaml-gitops-workload for the workload name

• Select K8s YAML for the package type

• Select Pull files from repository

• Select the previously created gitops-workloads namespace

• Click Continue

• Select gitops-workload-gs for the repository

• Enter the repo branch for the revision. By default it is master

• Enter /gitops-workload/YAML/yaml-workload.yaml for the YAML file path

• Click Save & Go To Placement

• Select the cluster where the resources will be deployed

• Click Save & Go To Publish

• Click Publish

This will deploy the workload on the cluster selected.

• Click Exit

Step 3: Create Helm Workload

You will now create a sample Helm workload. The workload will be used to demonstrate the workload lifecycle management of Helm workloads through GitOps.

• In your project, navigate to Applications -> Workloads

• Click New Workload -> Create New Workload

• Enter helm-gitops-workload for the workload name

• Select Helm 3 for the package type

• Select Pull files from repository

• Select Git for the repository type

• Select the previously created gitops-workloads namespace

• Click Continue

• Select gitops-workload-gs for the repository

• Enter the repo branch for the revision. By default it is master

• Enter /gitops-workload/Helm/webserver/ for the Helm chart path

• Select Value Path

• Click Add Path

• Enter /gitops-workload/Helm/webserver/custom-values.yaml

• Click Save & Go To Placement

• Select the cluster where the resources will be deployed

• Click Save & Go To Publish

• Click Publish

This will deploy the workload on the cluster selected.

• Click Exit

Recap

At this point, you have successfully deployed a YAML and Helm workload to your cluster from a Git repository.
