First, add the `StackReference` to the cluster stack, which is used to get the kubeconfig
from its stack output. This is a reference to the project created in the [previous lab]().

```bash
pulumi config set clusterStackRef workshops/eks-infrastructure/dev
```

Now we can deploy Everything:

```bash
pulumi up
```

This will show you a preview and, after selecting `yes`, the application will be deployed:

```

In order to check that everything has been deployed as expected, list the pods in your namespace:

```bash
kubectl get pods --namespace argocd
```

And you should see a number of pods:

```
NAME                                             READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
argocd-application-controller-64db95fccd-jkstk   1/1     Running   0          108s
argocd-dex-server-6b9cbf5598-znfpk               1/1     Running   0          108s
argocd-redis-6b7b6b766b-dkphm                    1/1     Running   0          107s
argocd-repo-server-7c9d75b48-tg5r8               1/1     Running   0          107s
argocd-server-7778cdd5-5f5vd                     1/1     Running   1          109s
```

The initial password for the ArgoCD server UI is the name of the pod that is running the application. Grab the name from the
post list e.g. `argocd-server-7778cdd5-5f5vd`. We can use the username `admin` to go with this.

Open the URL from the pulumi output in a browser and you can log in with this username and password combination
