The Akuity Platform separates Argo CD's control plane from the data plane.
- The control plane (where the UI and API run) only hosts Argo CD resources (Application, AppProject, ApplicationSet).
- The Application Controller runs in managed clusters where all workload resources (Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, etc.) must be deployed.
Change the resource destination to deploy to a managed workload cluster instead of the control plane.
