ArgoCD deployment
Deploy via ArgoCD Application
Deploy operator using a single ArgoCD Application sharing a dedicated AppProject.
The chart creates operator subscriptions and operator groups in the target namespace:
git clone https://gitlab.com/startx1/helm.git
cd helm-repository/charts/operator/examples/argocd/
oc apply -k .
The automated sync policy ensures ArgoCD reconciles the operator subscription whenever the chart or values drift from the desired state.
