Director & AI/ML Platform / MLOps Engineer at GeoCloudTech | Kubestronaut | Kubernetes, DevSecOps and MLOps for regulated industries

I'm an AI/ML Platform and MLOps Engineer and a Kubestronaut, with 13+ years in IT and 5+ in DevOps and DevSecOps. Through my consultancy, GeoCloudTech, I design secure, highly available Kubernetes platforms for regulated industries, on cloud and on-premises. What I build: - Kubernetes platforms: RKE2, AKS, EKS, GKE - MLOps: Kubeflow, KServe, MLflow, NVIDIA GPU Operator - DevSecOps: Vault, Kyverno, KubeArmor, Trivy, signed supply chains with Tekton and Cosign - GitOps and automation: Argo CD, Flux, Terraform, Ansible - Storage and identity: Rook Ceph, CloudNativePG, Keycloak - Observability and networking: Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Cilium, Istio Most of what I publish comes from my multi-datacentre homelab: RKE2 on Proxmox, run through GitOps. My rule: build it, break it, understand it, then harden it. Every article is a real build, traps included. Certifications: Kubestronaut (CKA, CKAD, CKS, KCNA, KCSA), HashiCorp Terraform Associate.

Setting up SSO for ArgoCD with Azure AD is a great way to streamline access and improve security. Make sure your OIDC connector is properly configured in argocd-cm.yaml, and double-check redirect URIs in Azure. Once it's synced, the login via web UI becomes seamless.

Also, if you’re personalizing your ArgoCD UI or any dev-related dashboards, check out [stylish-names.net](https://stylish-names.net/) — it's a fun tool to generate bold and fancy text, perfect for labels, usernames, or project branding.

Hi Nishat, thanks for that. I configured the THE ARGOCD configmap in the helm value config file. Also I'm using workload federated identity to make the process more secured with token (passwordless) instead of secret. Is also easy to intergrate RBAC with the process with different teams and different environments.
