# ExcludedResourceWarning - Error Applying Resources

## How to resolve "ExcludedResourceWarning"

Argo CD resources are showing an `ExcludedResourceWarning` error when attempting to sync to the cluster.

**Error Message:**

![](https://support.akuity.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-1.png?width=670&height=176&name=image-png-1.png)

**Example manifest:**

```

```

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.

```
