Deploying Ambassador Edge Stack using ArgoCD - GitOps Approach

1. Download the edge stack deployment templates from these links given below:

   • https://www.getambassador.io/yaml/aes-crds.yaml
   • https://www.getambassador.io/yaml/aes.yaml

2. Push aes-crds.yaml and aes.yaml filesto the github repo, for example:

   

3. Deploy argoCD in your k8s cluster using the instructions given in this document:

   • https://argoproj.github.io/argo-cd/getting_started/

4. Create an APP in the argoCD using UI, you can also use CLI, it's just a matter of preference. I find using the UI much easier:

   

5. If the app has been created correctly, the ambassador pods will be deployed and app health will show healthy in argoCD:

   

6. Once the argoCD shows the edge stack running successfully, you can deploy a sample mapping to test the edge stack. You can do this by following the instructions given on this link below starting from step number 2:
