1. Proposed title of this feature request
Integrate native support for Argo Workflows within OpenShift GitOps

2. What is the nature and description of the request?
We would like to request RedHat to integrate native support for Argo Workflows within OpenShift GitOps. This integration would enable orchestration of complex day2 operations, improve automation, and align with our GitOps strategy already built around ArgoCD.

3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
Background and Current State
We have adopted openshift gitops as a core component for our day2 operations. It is used for GitOps-based application deployment. However, OpenShift GitOps currently lacks native support for Argo Workflows, requiring custom integrations and extra efforts to manage the dependency between the diffrerent components.

Problem Statement
The absence of native Argo Workflows support in OpenShift GitOps leads to:
Increased operational overhead for maintaining custom operations.
lack of visibility and traceability across deployment workflows.
Inconsistent user experience across teams and environments.

Proposed Enhancement
We propose that Redhat integrate Argo Workflows within OpenShift GitOps.
Provide lifecycle management, RBAC, and observability for workflows.
Offer CRD support and UI integration within the OpenShift/gitops console.

Benefits

• Operational Efficiency: Streamlined deployment pipelines with fewer manual steps.
• Consistency: Unified GitOps experience across deployment and workflow orchestration.
• Scalability: Better support for multi-cluster, multi-tenant environments.
• Security & Compliance: Improved auditability and policy enforcement through centralized workflow management.

Implementation Considerations
Collaboration with RedHat engineering teams.
Pilot integration in a non-production OpenShift cluster.
Feedback loop via RedHat’s customer portal and TAM engagement.
