ArgoCD with the [default configuration ](https://github.com/gitops-bridge-dev/gitops-bridge-argocd-control-plane-template/blob/main/environments/default/addons/argo-cd/values.yaml ) uses HPA, which is useless without metrics server. All the examples have metrics server disabled and ArgoCD enabled, see e.g https://github.com/gitops-bridge-dev/gitops-bridge/blob/66bde3ec1d3ed50248ba4d25b8979141837be01a/argocd/iac/terraform/examples/eks/crossplane/main.tf#L80 https://github.com/gitops-bridge-dev/gitops-bridge/blob/66bde3ec1d3ed50248ba4d25b8979141837be01a/argocd/iac/terraform/examples/eks/crossplane/main.tf#L94
