Installing Argo CD, connecting a private repo, the App-of-Apps bootstrap, Kustomize base plus overlay, CI that builds images and bumps tags, private image pulls, and having Argo CD manage its own installation.

A companion story to the Self-Hosted k3s on Azure series: how adding a VMSS to a load balancer backend pool in the Azure portal silently reimaged all three nodes and wiped etcd, why it happened, and the four changes that made it impossible again.

Provisioning the whole cluster as code: one Standard Load Balancer carrying everything, burstable VMs with no public IP, and a cloud-init that bootstraps a k3s HA control plane while keeping etcd on a separate, reimage-safe data disk.

Series intro: the goal, the high-level architecture, the two-repo GitOps layout, and the design principles behind a self-hosted, fully declarative k3s cluster on Azure.
