#Introduction
This is a quick ReadMe/Overview of the application that is to-be-deployed alongside pipelines, infra and more

Deploy the kubernetes cluster using the terraform deployment (can be in-pipeline; infra)
Followed by building the image of the app and publishing it to the ACR (ADO pipeline) -> Also update tags on manifests in GitHub
ArgoCD checks for changes to the app in the GIT repo and deploys them.

App up and running, nothing too much


Folder /app exists in ADO
folder /k8s exists in github
folder /infra exists in ADO (Deploy AKS)

#Docker build commands for testing
docker build -t quote-api .
docker run -p 8080:8080 quote-api

#Mac specific stuff to build AND push to acr
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t quoteapiacr123.azurecr.io/quoteapi:latest .
docker push quoteapiacr123.azurecr.io/quoteapi:latest

#Pushing acr:
az acr login --name quoteapiacr123
docker tag quote-api quoteapiacr123.azurecr.io/quote-api:latest
docker push quoteapiacr123.azurecr.io/quote-api:latest

Tools to install/commands to execute
helm repo add argo https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm
helm repo update

#Create all namespaces:
kubectl create namespace observability
kubectl create namespace quote-api
kubectl create namespace argocd
helm install argocd argo/argo-cd -n argocd
kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8181:443 #Choosing 8181 as 8080 will be in use by the app and runs on the same node

#if required
kubectl get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -n argocd -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 --decode

Perform initial setup of the above using argocd shell/web interface
Application deployments will go via IaC
