SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Platform teams running GPU research workloads on Kubernetes need every add-on and tenant environment declared in Git and continuously reconciled, instead of hand-applied kubectl changes that drift, race during bootstrap, and bypass review. ## Core Features & Use Cases - App-of-apps bootstrap: Stand up a root Argo CD Application that fans out to platform add-ons (GPU operator, DCGM monitoring, KEDA, JupyterHub, model serving) from a single repo. - ApplicationSet tenant vending: Generate one Application per folder under tenants/ so onboarding a researcher is merging a PR, with prune-based deprovisioning. - Sync-wave ordering and secrets strategy: Order CRDs, GPU operator, monitoring, and workloads with sync waves, and choose between Sealed Secrets, SOPS, and External Secrets Operator. - Use Case: On a fresh Lambda-managed Kubernetes cluster, install Argo CD, apply the root app, and have the full GPU platform plus per-researcher namespaces reconcile from Git with drift self-healing. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to design an Argo CD app-of-apps bootstrap repo with sync waves and an ApplicationSet that vends one namespace per tenant folder for your GPU cluster.

Frequently Asked Questions about gitops-platform-bootstrap

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster with Argo CD app-of-apps?▼

Install Argo CD via Helm, then apply a single root Application pointing at a folder of child Application or ApplicationSet manifests. Syncing the root fans out to all platform add-ons, and automated sync with prune and selfHeal keeps the cluster reconciled to Git.

How do I vend one namespace per tenant with Argo CD ApplicationSet?▼

Use an ApplicationSet with a Git directory generator over a tenants/* folder path. Each folder generates an Application targeting a namespace named after the folder, so onboarding a tenant is merging a folder and deleting it deprovisions via prune.

Sealed Secrets vs SOPS vs External Secrets Operator for GitOps?▼

Sealed Secrets encrypts to a cluster keypair with no external dependencies and fits Argo CD natively. External Secrets Operator syncs from Vault or a cloud secrets manager with automatic rotation. SOPS encrypts files with KMS or age keys but needs a plugin for Argo CD.

Why do GPU workloads stay Pending after an Argo CD bootstrap?▼

Workloads requesting GPUs synced before the GPU operator and device plugin finished, so nodes do not yet advertise nvidia.com/gpu. Fix ordering with sync-wave annotations so CRDs and the GPU operator become healthy before consumer workloads sync.

Should I use environment branches or folders for GitOps promotion?▼

Use folders and overlays, not environment branches. Environments live as per-cluster value overlays in one repo, and promotion is a pull request that changes an overlay, keeping history reviewable and avoiding branch drift.
