Create an Argo CD instance

info

For access to the Akuity Platform please create an Akuity user account. After completing the registration process, activate your account using the link sent to your email.

After registering and activating your account:

  1. Navigate to Argo CD.

    If this is your first time using the platform, you must also create an organization to own the instance you're about to create:

    1. Click the create or join link.

    2. Click + New organization in the upper right hand corner of the dashboard.

    3. Name your organization following the rules listed below the Organization Name field.

    4. Click Create.

    5. Navigate back to Argo CD.

  2. Click + Create in the upper right hand corner of the dashboard.

  3. Name your instance following the rules listed below the Instance Name field.

  4. Choose the Argo CD version you want to use.

  5. Click + Create.

It will take several seconds to create your new Argo CD instance (Progressing status next to your new instance's name), so please be patient.

info

When the process completes, the URL for accessing your new Argo CD instance via UI or CLI can be found in the upper left hand corner of the screen, just to the right of the instance name and health status.
