Lightning Talk: Enabling Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure with Argo Workflows
summary
Cisco IT builds a control plane platform (React frontend, Django backend) that generates requests handled by Argo Workflows using a parent/child workflow of workflows pattern, Terraform for infra and per-provider namespace templates so failures and ownership are clear. It replaces roughly 20 disparate tools, manages ~40,000 VMs, runs existing Ansible and shell jobs in containers on Kubernetes, and propagates child errors back to the parent so automations run cross-cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure/on‑prem) with clearer support boundaries and lower operational overhead.
