Adobe standardizes on Argo CD plus Cluster API and vcluster to spin ephemeral test clusters from PRs, bootstrapping them via Argo ApplicationSets and generators. Benchmarks drive decisions: tests hit 200 clusters and 10,000 apps, show ~15,000 objects is a safe object-count target and 1,500 apps is a conservative out-of-the-box line. Architecture uses AppController sharding, App-of-Apps split to reduce object counts, and the Argo hack/generate-resources and simulator tools to measure reconciliation and failure modes.
