Lightning Talk: Ranking Argo CD Settings in a Tier List
summary
Arguess about concrete Argo CD defaults and tradeoffs: prefer resource tracking annotation over 63‑char label tracking and recommend changing the default instance label; treat ignore differences and respect ignore differences as generally useful for operator-managed fields; mark persist health in Redis as a performance win that typically saves 5–10% CPU but breaks tools that expect status in the CR; selective sync and ignore aggregated roles are niche fixes, createNamespace is divisive, UI banner and custom CSS are low-risk helpers, and fail‑on‑shared‑resources prevents dangerous thrash.
