Instructions

Each step of workshop contains own readme with detailed flow plus complete code.

• 02_Argo_Projects_User_Kustomize - restricting the default Argo CD project, adding a scoped user/project, and Kustomize base/overlay basics.
• 03_App_deployment_first_issues - deploying your first app via Argo CD Applications, and debugging real sync/health errors (paths, projects, namespace drift) as they happen.
• 04_AppOfApps_ordering_observability - splitting infra/app repos, the App-of-Apps pattern, sync-wave ordering, and basic observability.
• 05_ApplicationSet_Summary - replacing repetitive Application manifests with a single ApplicationSet, plus a wrap-up of the whole workshop.
