Creating ApplicationSet-based applications

Before you begin

  • Ensure that the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps operator is installed on the Hub cluster. For instructions, see RHACM documentation.
  • Ensure that both Primary and Secondary managed clusters are registered to GitOps. For registration instructions, see Registering managed clusters to GitOps. Then check if the Placement used by GitOpsCluster resource to register both managed clusters, has the tolerations to deal with cluster unavailability. You can verify if the following tolerations are added to the Placement using the command
    oc get placement <placement-name> -n openshift-gitops -o yaml.
      tolerations:
  - key: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/unreachable
    operator: Exists
  - key: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/unavailable
    operator: Exists
    In case the tolerations are not added, see Configuring application placement tolerations for Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management and OpenShift GitOps.
