Argo CD can operate as a control plane or a cluster service when managing multiple clusters. Should you use one instance to manage multiple clusters or install an instance in each one? The difference may seem subtle, but in practice, this choice can have serious security implications, affect the developer experience, and make it a pain to scale. In this talk, Nicholas Morey discusses the trade-offs between the different architectures. Your situation and users' needs play an important role in determining the best approach. New users looking to adopt Argo CD can prepare themselves for the architecture choices required. While existing users will benefit from looking at their situation to determine whether they currently face limitations of a previous choice in architecture.
