GitOps has become the golden standard for cloud native deployments. Tools like Argo CD allow for this pattern to be followed in Kubernetes clusters. Scaling your GitOps deployments across multiple clusters using Argo CD can introduce significant challenges in security, network connectivity, and control plane performance. Should you go with multi-instance? What about cluster sharding?

This session will introduce the challenges of scaling your Argo CD deployments across multiple clusters and introduce Argo CD Agent, a project which flips the script on multi-cluster Argo CD set ups by having workload clusters report back to the control plane, enabling a “pull model” instead of the traditional “push model.” This set up enables multiple benefits not present in the other multi-cluster strategies. A live demonstration will be provided to showcase it in action.
