This repository contains scripts and configuration files to set up a test cluster using Kind and deploy ArgoCD.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:

Getting Started

To create the test cluster and deploy ArgoCD, follow these steps:

make create-cluster

This Makefile target is responsible for creating a test cluster, deploying the Ingress-Nginx controller, adding the Argo CD Helm repository, updating dependencies, and installing the Argo CD chart onto the cluster.
