What is GitOps with ArgoCD hub-spoke model?

It's one central ArgoCD instance managing multiple clusters by pulling configs from Git, enabling self-healing and centralized ops across AWS EKS.

How do I install ArgoCD hub on AWS EKS?

Enable public endpoint temporarily, Helm install in argocd namespace, login via CLI, add repos/projects/clusters—full commands in guide.

Does ArgoCD hub-spoke reduce operational overhead?

Absolutely—one UI/logs/secrets vs. per-cluster sprawl, scaling linearly without the pain.

Why use server: "*" in AppProject destinations?

ArgoCD resolves names to server URLs for perms; name: "*" fails syncs, server: "*" unlocks it.
