Validated Patterns

Deploying the RHOSO GitOps pattern

Prerequisites

Before you deploy the pattern, ensure that you have the following:

  • An Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 or later cluster with sufficient compute and storage for RHOSO. For sizing guidance, see Cluster sizing.

  • Cluster administrator privileges and a working kubeconfig

  • podman 4.3 or later for ./pattern.sh

  • Red Hat OpenShift GitOps available on the cluster (installed by the pattern framework or pre-installed)

  • Install the tooling dependencies

Preparing for deployment

Procedure

  1. Fork the rhoso-gitops repository on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork:

    $ git clone git@github.com:<your-organization>/rhoso-gitops.git
$ cd rhoso-gitops

  3. Optional: if you plan to use Vault integration later, copy the secrets template:

    $ cp values-secret.yaml.template values-secret.yaml

Installing the pattern

  1. Validate prerequisites without applying changes:

    $ ./pattern.sh make validate-prereq
$ ./pattern.sh make show

  2. Install the pattern:

    $ ./pattern.sh make install

Verifying the deployment

  1. Watch Argo CD applications in both GitOps namespaces:

    $ oc get applications -n vp-gitops
$ oc get applications -n openshift-gitops

  2. After install, run the pattern health check:

    $ ./pattern.sh make argo-healthcheck

  3. Validate the pattern schema:

    $ ./pattern.sh make validate-schema

Validated Patterns

Validated Patterns are an evolution of how you deploy applications in a hybrid cloud. With a pattern, you can automatically deploy a full application stack through a GitOps-based framework. With this framework, you can create business-centric solutions while maintaining a level of Continuous Integration (CI) over your application.
