New repository: multicloud-integrations: First content - Import ManagedClusters into Argo CD

[jnpacker]

I would like to contribute a new kind/controller that references a Placement/PlacementDecision resource to import a ManagedCluster into Argo CD.

• Placement filters which ManagedClusters to import into an Argo CD.
• The same ManagedCluster name is used.
• The resource kind would be gitopscluster
• You can create multiple instances of the resource to target mulitple Argo CD's deployed in the cluster
• This also creates an imported Argo CD cluster that will work with ApplicationSet's and Placement as well as standard Application Deployments
• I was thinking the multicloud-integrations repo. Where other integration's could be added later

hello @jnpacker glad to see you again since worked on Bluemix local. For argoCD + OCM, it is great for online application on multiple clusters. Two questions:

1. In the solution, there is controller watch placement rule and create ArgoCD cluster and import into ArgoCD namespace. I know ArgoCD working as a "push" mode. For each cluster, there is a cluster secret in ArgoCD namespace for cluster name and kubeconfig. The question is OCM working as a pull mode, how we can get each managed cluster kubeconfig ?
2. If we got kubeconfig someway, then ArgoCD will work on push way, instead of using OCM manifestwork. Right ?

Thank you.
