What makes this interesting is now\ndynamic [review\nenvironments](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/review_apps/index.html) can be\nprovisioned intuitively from the merge request (MR) using a\n[GitOps](/topics/gitops/) workflow. The benefit is code reviewers or\ndesigners can quickly review any app changes to your Kubernetes cluster all\nfrom within the merge request.\n\n\nIn traditional testing workflows, you may have pushed your changes into a\ndevelopment environment, waiting for the QA and UX team to pull those\nchanges into their environment for further review, and then received\nfeedback based on your small change. At this point, time was wasted between\nvarious teams with environment coordination or adding bugs to the backlog of\nthe new changes. \n\n\nWith the combination of a merge request and review environments, you can\nquickly spin up a test environment based on the changes of your feature\nbranch. This means the QA or UX team can suggest improvements or changes\nduring the code review process without wasting cycles.\n\n\nThe introduction of the ApplicationSet has given greater flexibility to Argo\nCD workflows such as:\n\n\n- Allowing unprivileged cluster users to deploy applications (without\nnamespace access)\n\n- Deploying applications to multiple clusters at once\n\n- Deploying many applications from a single monorepo\n\n- **And triggering review environments based on a pull request**\n\n\n### Let's review the ApplicationSet and the GitLab Pull Request Generator\n\n\nThe [Pull Request\nGenerator](https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/operator-manual/applicationset/Generators-Pull-Request)\nwill use the GitLab API to automatically discover new merge requests within\na repository. Depending on the filter match of the MR, a review environment\nwill then be generated.\n\n\n```yaml\n\napiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1\n\nkind: ApplicationSet\n\nmetadata:\n  name: review-the-application\n  namespace: argocd\nspec:\n  generators:\n  - pullRequest:\n      gitlab:\n        project: \u003Cproject-id>\n        api: https://gitlab.com/\n        tokenRef:\n          secretName: \u003Cgitlab-token>\n          key: token\n        pullRequestState: opened\n      requeueAfterSeconds: 60\n  template:\n    metadata:\n      name: 'review-the-application-{{number}}'\n    spec:\n      source:\n        repoURL: \u003Crepository-with-manifest-files>\n        path: chart/\n        targetRevision: 'HEAD'\n        helm:\n          parameters:\n          - name: \"image.repository\"\n            value: \"registry.gitlab.com/\u003Cgroup-and-project-path>/{{branch}}\"\n          - name: \"image.tag\"\n            value: \"{{head_sha}}\"\n          - name: \"service.url\"\n            value: \"the-application-{{number}}.\u003Cip>.nip.io\"\n      project: default\n      destination:\n        server: https://kubernetes.default.svc\n        namespace: dynamic-environments-with-argo-cd\n```\n\n#### Fields\n\n\n* `project`: The GitLab Project ID\n\n* `api`: URL of GitLab instance\n\n* `tokenRef`: The secret to monitor merge request changes\n\n* `labels`: Provision review environments based on a GitLab label\n\n* `pullRequestState`: Provision review environments based on [MR\nstates](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/merge_requests.html)\n\n\nFilter options include GitLab labels, merge request state (open, closed,\nmerged), and branch match.

Please install\nand/or configure them before getting started.\n\n\n- **Tools**\n  - GitLab v15.0+ \n  - Kubernetes cluster v1.21+\n  - Argo CD 2.5.0+\n- **CLI**\n  - kubectl v1.21+\n\n### Explore the Source Code\n\n\nFirst, let’s explore the [source\ncode](https://gitlab.com/madou-stories/dynamic-environments-with-argo-cd)\nfor the tutorial.\n\n\nThis GitLab group is composed of the 2 following projects:\n\n\n- `The Application`: contains the source code of a containerized application\nand its CI/CD pipeline\n\n- `The Application Configuration`: contains the application configuration\n(Kubernetes Manifests) managed by Helm\n\n\n![git-repository](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/2022-08-01-how-to-provision-reviewops/git-repository.png)\n\n\n### Setting up GitLab\n\n\n1. Create your GitLab Group and fork the [The\nApplication](https://gitlab.com/madou-stories/dynamic-environments-with-argo-cd/the-application)\nand [The Application\nConfiguration](https://gitlab.com/madou-stories/dynamic-environments-with-argo-cd/the-application-configuration)\nprojects into it.\n\n\n2. In `The Application Configuration` project, edit the\n`**manifests/applicationset.yml**` as follows:\n\n  * `.spec.generators.pullRequest.gitlab.project`: The Project ID of `The Application`\n  * `.spec.template.spec.source.repoURL`: Git URL of `The Application Configuration`\n  * `.spec.template.spec.source.helm.parameters.\"image.repository\"`: Point to image repository, for example `registry.gitlab.com/\u003CYour_GitLab_Group>/the-application/{{branch}}`\n\n  Note: keep the {{branch}} string as is and replace \u003CYour_GitLab_Group> with the name of the group you created in step 1.\n\n  * `.spec.template.spec.source.helm.parameters.\"service.url\"`: Templated with `the-application-{{number}}.\u003CYour_Kube_Ingress_Base_Domain>`\n\n  Note: keep the {{number}} string as is and replace \u003CYour_Kube_Ingress_Base_Domain> with the base domain of your Kubernetes Cluster.\n\n3. Define the following CI/CD variables at the group level:\n\n   - `ARGOCD_SERVER_URL`, the Argo CD server address\n   - `ARGOCD_USERNAME`, the username of your Argo CD account\n   - `ARGOCD_PASSWORD`, the password of your Argo CD account\n   - `KUBE_INGRESS_BASE_DOMAIN`, the base domain of your Kubernetes Cluster\n\n   ![cicd-variables](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/2022-08-01-how-to-provision-reviewops/cicd-variables.png)\n\n4. Generate a Group access token to grant `read_api` and `read_registry`\naccess to this group and its sub-projects.\n\n   ![group-access-token](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/2022-08-01-how-to-provision-reviewops/group-access-token.png)\n\n   Save the group access token somewhere safe. We will use it later.\n\n### Setting up Kubernetes\n\n\n1. Create a namespace called `dynamic-environments-with-argo-cd`.\n   ```shell\n   kubectl create namespace dynamic-environments-with-argo-cd\n   ```\n2. Create a Kubernetes secret called `gitlab-token-dewac` to allow Argo CD\nto use the GitLab API.\n   ```shell\n   kubectl create secret generic gitlab-token-dewac -n argocd --from-literal=token=\u003CYour_Access_Token>\n   ```\n3. Create another Kubernetes secret called `gitlab-token-dewac` to allow\nKubernetes to pull images from the GitLab Container Registry.\n   ```shell\n   kubectl create secret generic gitlab-token-dewac -n dynamic-environments-with-argo-cd --from-literal=token=\u003CYour_Access_Token>\n   ```\n\n### Setting up Argo CD\n\n\n1. Create the Argo CD ApplicationSet to generate an Argo CD Application\nassociated with a merge request.\n   ```shell\n   kubectl apply -f https://gitlab.com/\u003CYour_GitLab_Group>/the-application-configuration/-/raw/main/manifests/applicationset.yaml\n   ```\n\n### Update the source code\n\n\n1. In `The Application` project, create a GitLab issue, then an associated\nbranch and merge request. \n\n2. In Argo CD, a new application is provisioned called\n`review-the-application` based on the new merge request event.\n\n   ![review-the-application-argocd](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/2022-08-01-how-to-provision-reviewops/review-the-application-argocd.png)\n\n3. In `The Application` project, edit the `index.pug` and replace `p Welcome\nto #{title}`  with `p Bienvenue à #{title}`.\n\n4. Commit into your recent branch which is going to trigger a pipeline run.\n\n5. In the CI/CD > Pipelines, you will find the following pipeline running on\nyour merge request:\n\n   ![feature-branch-pipeline](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/2022-08-01-how-to-provision-reviewops/feature-branch-pipeline.png)\n\n   where,\n\n   - `docker-build`: builds the container image\n   - `reviewops`: configures and deploys the container into the review environment using Argo CD\n   - `stop-reviewops`: deletes the review environment\n\n6. Once completed, the `review-the-application` application in Argo CD is\nnow synced.\n\n   ![review-the-application-synced](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/2022-08-01-how-to-provision-reviewops/review-the-application-synced.png)\n\n7. From the merge request, click on the `View app` button to access to your\napplication.\n\n   ![view-app-button](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/2022-08-01-how-to-provision-reviewops/view-app-button.png)\n\n   The outcome should be as follows:\n\n   ![express-app](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/2022-08-01-how-to-provision-reviewops/express-app.png)\n\n8. You have succesfully provisioned a dynamic review environment based on\nyour merge request! Once the merge request is closed, the environment will\nbe automatically cleaned up.\n\n\n## To sum up\n\n\nHopefully this tutorial has been helpful and has inspired your GitLab + Argo\nCD workflows with review environments.\n\n\nWe'd love to hear in the comments on how this is working for you, as well as\nyour ideas on how we can make GitLab a better place for GitOps workflows.\n","engineering",[25,26,27],"code
