EKS & GitOps Implementation: Secure & Scalable Environments with ArgoCD

Deploying Amazon EKS is only the first step. The next critical challenge is building a reliable, secure, and automated process to deploy applications onto it. Teams often struggle to connect their cluster to a modern CI/CD system, leading to manual kubectl commands, inconsistent environments, and a lack of auditability. Implementing a GitOps tool like Argo CD correctly, with integrated security, is a complex project in itself.

VirtueCloud’s  EKS & GitOps Accelerator is a unified professional service that builds your cloud-native platform and the automated deployment engine that powers it. We don't just give you an empty cluster. We deliver a production-ready EKS environment fully integrated with a secure Argo CD instance, providing your team with a best-practice GitOps workflow from the moment of handover.

Upon project completion, your team will receive a fully operational, automated platform:

• A Production-Ready EKS Cluster: Provisioned with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for repeatable, auditable infrastructure.

• A Deployed & Configured Argo CD Instance: Securely installed on your cluster and integrated with your Git provider (GitHub, GitLab, etc.) and SSO.

• A Secure GitOps Workflow: Including a robust strategy for managing Kubernetes secrets within your GitOps process.

• Reference GitOps Repositories: Sample application and environment repositories to demonstrate the complete workflow.

• Comprehensive Documentation & Training: A full runbook and a hands-on workshop to ensure your team is self-sufficient.

Phase 1: Discovery & Strategy: We begin with a workshop to align on your application architecture, Git workflow, and security requirements.

Phase 2: EKS Foundation Build: Our certified engineers deploy the secure networking and production-grade EKS cluster using Infrastructure as Code.

Phase 3: Argo CD & GitOps Implementation: We install and configure Argo CD, integrate it with your Git provider, and set up the secure secret management solution.

Phase 4: Pilot Application Onboarding: We work with your team to onboard your first application, demonstrating the end-to-end GitOps flow from code commit to production.

Phase 5: Handover & Enablement: We conduct the final knowledge transfer workshop and deliver all documentation, empowering your team to own the platform.

• Organizations adopting Kubernetes for the first time and wanting to start with best practices.

• Businesses migrating to EKS and needing to modernize their existing CI/CD pipelines to a GitOps model.

• Platform Engineering & DevOps Teams building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP).

AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner: As a vetted partner, our expertise is officially recognized by AWS, ensuring the highest standards for your EKS and DevOps projects.

Certified Kubernetes & GitOps Experts: Our team holds key certifications like Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) and has deep, hands-on experience implementing complex Argo CD and EKS solutions together.

Holistic Platform Focus: We deliver a complete, integrated solution not just a cluster or a tool. We build the platform and the process that makes your developers productive.
