Add the official Argo CD Helm repository with the name argo
The Argo CD CRDs have already been pre-installed in the cluster
Generate a template of the Argo CD Helm chart version 7.7.3 for the argocd namespace and save it to ~/argo- helm.yaml . Configure the chart to not install CRDs.
Correct Answer:
Task Summary
* SSH into cka000060
* Add the Argo CD Helm repo named argo
* Generate a manifest (~/argo-helm.yaml) for Argo CD version 7.7.3
* Target namespace: argocd
* Do not install CRDs
* Just generate, don't install
# Step-by-Step Solution
1## SSH into the correct host
ssh cka000060
## Required - skipping this = zero score
2## Add the Argo CD Helm repository
helm repo add argo https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm
helm repo update
# This adds the official Argo Helm chart source.
3## Generate Argo CD Helm chart template (version 7.7.3)
Use the helm template command to generate a manifest and write it to ~/argo-helm.yaml.
helm template argocd argo/argo-cd \
--version 7.7.3 \
--namespace argocd \
--set crds.install=false \
> ~/argo-helm.yaml
* argocd # Release name (can be anything; here it's same as the namespace)
* --set crds.install=false # Disables CRD installation
* > ~/argo-helm.yaml # Save to required file
# 4## Verify the generated file (optional but smart)
head ~/argo-helm.yaml
Check that it contains valid Kubernetes YAML and does not include CRDs.
# Final Command Summary
ssh cka000060
helm repo add argo https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm
helm repo update
helm template argocd argo/argo-cd \
