Create a Lab Environment

Fork the repository

Go to heckelmann/kyverno-keptn-workshop and fork the repository to your personal GitHub account.

Make sure the forked repository visibility is set to Public.

Start GitHub CodeSpace

In your fork, go to "Code" then switch to the "Codespaces" tab and click "Create codespace on main".

A new window will open with the Codespace. This will take a few minutes to start.

Start the Workshop Kubernetes Cluster

Open a new Terminal within your Codespace and run the following command:

> make
Creating KinD cluster
Creating cluster "workshop-cluster" ...
 ✓ Ensuring node image (kindest/node:v1.30.0) 🖼 
 ✓ Preparing nodes 📦  
 ✓ Writing configuration 📜 
 ✓ Starting control-plane 🕹️ 
 ✓ Installing CNI 🔌 
 ✓ Installing StorageClass 💾 
Set kubectl context to "kind-workshop-cluster"

...

application.argoproj.io/kyverno-keptn-workshop created
ArgoCD Admin Password
YOURPASSWORD

🎉 Installation Complete! 🎉

This will spin up a KinD Cluster within your Codespace, install ArgoCD and create the app-of-apps application, which will deploy all other components.

Tip

Please note the ArgoCD Admin Password, which will be displayed at the end of the installation.

You can now access ArgoCD by clicking on the exposed port of your GitHub Code Space

After logging in with the admin user and the password displayed during the installation, you will see the ArgoCD Web Console.

Create GitHub API Token and K8s Secret

Open the GitHub settings and navigate to Developer settings -> Personal access tokens -> Fine-grained tokens (https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta).

Select access only to your forked repository and set the permission on Actions to read and write access.

Note down the generated token.

Switch back to your Codespace and create a Kubernetes secret with the token:

GH_REPO_OWNER=<YOUR_GITHUB_USER>
GH_REPO=<YOUR_GITHUB_REPO>
GH_API_TOKEN=<YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN>
kubectl create secret generic github-token -n demo-app-dev \
    --from-literal=SECURE_DATA="{\"githubRepo\":\"${GH_REPO}\",\"githubRepoOwner\":\"${GH_REPO_OWNER}\",\"apiToken\":\"${GH_API_TOKEN}\"}"
