Panel: Building a GitOps...
summary
Panelists describe real deployments: Argo CD manages ~30 clusters for Novo Nordisk (supporting ~100 teams) and ~80 clusters at Michelin with nine engineers handling 400–500 apps and ~1,000 users; adoption cuts lead time and onboarding dramatically (cited ~83% lead‑time improvements, months-to-weeks onboarding). Practical details: use the Argo CD operator to delegate instances, prefer many small Argo servers rather than one giant instance, move teams from manual sync to autosync, follow a 1500-app guideline, and surface changes via PRs so AI agents act through Git.
