Managed GitOps and platform add-ons for Kubernetes Partial match
EKS Capabilities (Argo CD, ACK, kro) map partly to Config Sync for GitOps and Config Controller (hosted Config Connector) for managing Google Cloud resources as Kubernetes objects.
- Config Sync is Google's own GitOps engine, not managed Argo CD.
- Config Connector plays the role of AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK).
