The GitOps Sync Storm
ArgoCD is stuck in a sync loop — it keeps deploying, detecting drift, and redeploying every 30 seconds. CPU on the cluster is spiking from constant pod recreations. A HorizontalPodAutoscaler keeps changing the replica count, which ArgoCD sees as drift from the Git-declared value. Three teams are blocked.
