Richard Whiting developed an Argo CD deployment configuration for the stfc/cloud-deployed-apps repository, focusing on automating the setup of a Kubernetes test cluster. He leveraged Infrastructure as Code principles and YAML to configure Argo CD Applications and ApplicationSets, enabling automated deployment of core components such as argocd, cert-manager, and longhorn. By integrating custom values files and ingress hostname management, Richard established a reproducible test environment tailored for Longhorn issue investigation. This approach allowed for rapid validation of infrastructure changes through Git-driven workflows, improving the reliability and efficiency of the testbed while demonstrating depth in DevOps and Kubernetes automation.
