Infrastructure deployments with ArgoCD HA and Crossplane
summary
Uses GitOps with Crossplane and ArgoCD to deploy infra from a tooling EKS cluster into target AWS accounts, building Crossplane Compositions (about 10,000 lines) that create ECS tenants split into cluster, service and task CRDs. Runs Argo CD HA to scale (~2,000 apps vs multitenant ~80-app limit). Reports provider-version breaking changes, CRD finalizer and drift headaches, manual image-tag updates, and a roadmap to isolate infra vs apps and add isolated upgrade/test tooling.
