Truncated API version +kind: Deployment +metadata: + name: order-service +``` + +**Expected:** +```yaml +apiVersion: apps/v1 # ✅ CORRECT +kind: Deployment +metadata: + name: order-service +``` + +**Impact:** This malformed API version prevents Kubernetes from validating and applying the Deployment resource, causing ArgoCD sync to fail with "one or more synchronization tasks are not valid." + +**Root Cause:** This was introduced in commit `8cd04df` with the commit message "break apiVersion formatting in deployment YAML" - this appears to be an intentional breaking change for testing purposes. + +--- + +### Issue 2: Invalid Container Image Name for Store Admin Deployment ❌ + +**Location:** `apps/broken-aks-store-all-in-one.yaml` (line 475) + +**Problem:** +```yaml +image: ghcr.io/azure-samples/aks-store-demo/store-dmin:2.1.0 # ❌ TYPO - "dmin" instead of "admin" +``` + +**Expected:** +```yaml +image: ghcr.io/azure-samples/aks-store-demo/store-admin:2.1.0 # ✅ CORRECT +``` + +**Impact:** This will cause the `store-admin` deployment to fail with an image pull error since the image `store-dmin` doesn't exist in the registry. + +--- + +## 🛠️ Remediation Recommendations + +### Option 1: Fix the Source Repository (Recommended) +**If you own or have access to the source repository:** + +1. **Clone the repository:** + ```bash + git clone https://github.com/dcasati/argocd-notification-examples.git + cd argocd-notification-examples + ``` + +2. **Fix the API version:** + ```bash + sed -i 's/apiVersion: apps\/v$/apiVersion: apps\/v1/' apps/broken-aks-store-all-in-one.yaml + ``` + +3. **Fix the image name:** + ```bash + sed -i 's/store-dmin:2.1.0/store-admin:2.1.0/' apps/broken-aks-store-all-in-one.yaml + ``` + +4. **Commit and push the changes:** + ```bash + git add apps/broken-aks-store-all-in-one.yaml + git commit -m "Fix API version and image name in broken-aks-store-all-in-one.yaml" + git push origin main + ``` + +5. **Trigger ArgoCD sync:** + ```bash + argocd app sync 2-broken-apps + ``` + +--- + +### Option 2: Use a Different Source or Fork +**If you don't have access to the source repository:** + +1. **Fork the repository to your own GitHub account** + +2. **Apply the fixes mentioned above to your fork** + +3. **Update the ArgoCD application to point to your fork:** + ```bash + kubectl patch application 2-broken-apps -n argocd --type=merge -p '{"spec":{"source":{"repoURL":"https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/argocd-notification-examples.git"}}}' + ``` + +--- + +### Option 3: Use Kustomize Overlay to Patch the Resources +**If you want to keep the original source but apply fixes:** + +1. **Create a Kustomize overlay structure:** + ```bash + mkdir -p overlays/prod + ``` + +2. **Create a `kustomization.yaml` file:** + ```yaml + apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1 + kind: Kustomization + + resources: + -

The quickest resolution is to fix the source YAML file if you have access, or fork the repository and apply the fixes there. + +--- + +**Note:** Based on the commit message "break apiVersion formatting in deployment YAML," it appears these errors were intentionally introduced for testing ArgoCD notification functionality. If this is the case and you want to test failure scenarios, you may want to keep the broken state.
