Bootstrap Walkthrough

Prerequisites

  • OpenShift cluster (4.12+), oc CLI, cluster admin privileges

Simple Bootstrap Process

1. Verify Cluster Access

oc cluster-info
oc whoami

2. Deploy Hub Cluster Resources

oc apply -k clusters/global/
./bin/monitor-status applications.argoproj.io

This single command creates all ArgoCD applications with proper ordering:

  • Wave -1: OpenShift GitOps (self-management)
  • Wave 1: Pipelines (Tekton operator)
  • Wave 2: Vault (secret management)
  • Wave 2: ESO (External Secrets Operator)
  • Wave 3: ACM (Advanced Cluster Management with ordered deployment)
    • Operator → Hub → Policies
  • Wave 4: GitOps Integration (cluster import)
  • Wave 5: Hub Provisioner Pipelines

4. Wait for Core Infrastructure

./bin/wait-kube route openshift-gitops-server openshift-gitops '{.metadata.name}' openshift-gitops-server
./bin/wait-kube mch multiclusterhub open-cluster-management '{.status.conditions[?(@.type=="Complete")].message}' "All hub components ready."

5. Verify Deployment

oc get applications -n openshift-gitops    # All "Synced" and "Healthy"
oc get multiclusterhub -n open-cluster-management
oc get pods -n vault

6. Configure Vault (Automated)

./bin/bootstrap-vault

7. Access Management Interfaces

echo "OpenShift: $(oc whoami --show-console)"
echo "ArgoCD: https://$(oc get route openshift-gitops-server -n openshift-gitops -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}')"
echo "ACM: https://$(oc get route multicloud-console -n open-cluster-management -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}')"

What Happens During Bootstrap

  1. GitOps Installation: ArgoCD operator installs and configures itself
  2. Ordered Application Deployment: Sync waves ensure proper dependency order
  3. GitOps Setup: ArgoCD ApplicationSets configured for cluster management
  4. Secret Management: Vault and ESO configured for secure credential handling
  5. Multi-Cluster Ready: ACM hub ready to manage regional clusters

Next Steps

After bootstrap completes:

# Add your first cluster
./bin/cluster-create

# Monitor cluster provisioning
oc get clusterdeployments -A     # OpenShift clusters
oc get clusters -A               # EKS clusters

# Check overall health
./bin/monitor-health

The cluster is now ready to provision and manage additional regional clusters through GitOps automation.
