Redefining the Multi-Cluster Story of Argo CD
summary
Argo CD flips control: a new community project argocd-agent places one principal in a control plane and small agents on each workload cluster that initiate connections using gRPC over mTLS. It already performs CRUD for Application resources and streams near-real-time status and live resource views back to the principal, solving long-lived watch scaling and credential exposure. Current limitations: app projects sync to all agents and no private-repo support yet; roadmap adds UI diffs, resource actions, multi-tenancy and SPIFFE-based auth.
