Available Public Wildcard DNS Domains pointing to localhost (127.0.0.1)

The best way to safely and securely use local domains pointing to 127.0.0.1 is to edit your local settings (/etc/hosts) and add your own settings. Keep in mind if you want to use subdomains, you need to enter all variations.

Example:

# Adding bottom of your current file /etc/hosts
################# MY LOCAL DOMAINS
127.0.0.1 local.com admin.local.com
127.0.0.1 domain1.com

ArgoCD and ArgoWorkflows SSO config with AWS Cognito

So you have fantastic ArgoCD or mind-boggling ArgoWorkflows (this guide covers both), and if you want to secure the Authentication with AWS Cognito, let's dive right in.

I found many different sources unveiling some pieces of the required configuration but no resources where one can see the whole picture. I hope this guide will be one of such places. This guide will mean no DEX usage, just rely on Argo's built-in OpenID Connect flow.
