Managing Millions of Storage Volumes at Scale: Inside DigitalOcean's...
summary
DigitalOcean runs a single ArgoCD instance in GCP to manage 13+ clusters across 11+ regions powering millions of volumes and achieves sub‑5‑minute deployments. A Go utility ArgoCD Rancher Sync auto-registers clusters from Rancher, ApplicationSet cluster generators create per‑cluster apps, and Ansible playbooks treat the control plane as code. Deployments use Argo Rollouts canary with pauses tied to error‑rate and latency checks and automatic rollback. High availability relies on droplet anti‑affinity, backups/restore, and ArgoCD Projects for RBAC and multi‑team isolation.
