GitOps with OTC, Terraform, Helm, and Argo CD
summary
An empty Open Telekom Cloud account becomes a running Kubernetes environment with cert-manager, Traefik gateway, Kafka and Elastic Stack using Terraform to provision CCE (kube creation takes ~8–10 minutes) and Argo CD plus Helm to pull and deploy apps — all demonstrated as doable in 30 minutes using the open-source terraform-opentelekomcloud-project-factory modules as reusable “lego bricks”; secrets live in Vault in production (demo uses an S3 bucket), registry-creds avoids Docker Hub rate limits, and the team reports thousands of containers hosted this way.
