| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Issue #12: 🚨 ArgoCD Deployment Failed: 2-broken-apps |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +**Status:** ✅ Root cause identified |
| 6 | +**Investigation Date:** 2026-02-03 |
| 7 | +**Application:** `2-broken-apps` |
| 8 | +**Cluster:** `aks-eastus2` |
| 9 | +**Namespace:** `default` |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +--- |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +## 🎯 Key Findings |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +### Two Critical Issues Identified in External Repository |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +The deployment failure is caused by errors in the manifest file from the external repository: |
| 18 | +`https://github.com/dcasati/argocd-notification-examples.git` |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +#### Issue 1: Invalid Kubernetes apiVersion |
| 21 | +- **File:** `apps/broken-aks-store-all-in-one.yaml` |
| 22 | +- **Line:** 178 |
| 23 | +- **Current:** `apiVersion: apps/v` |
| 24 | +- **Expected:** `apiVersion: apps/v1` |
| 25 | +- **Impact:** ArgoCD cannot sync - Kubernetes rejects the malformed resource definition |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +#### Issue 2: Typo in Container Image Name |
| 28 | +- **File:** `apps/broken-aks-store-all-in-one.yaml` |
| 29 | +- **Line:** 475 |
| 30 | +- **Current:** `ghcr.io/azure-samples/aks-store-demo/store-dmin:2.1.0` |
| 31 | +- **Expected:** `ghcr.io/azure-samples/aks-store-demo/store-admin:2.1.0` |
| 32 | +- **Impact:** Pod fails to start - image doesn't exist in registry |
