Argo CD 3.3 ships several operator-focused improvements. The headline addition is PreDelete hooks, completing the sync lifecycle and enabling safe, predictable teardown sequences (e.g., data export, traffic draining) before resource deletion. OIDC background token refresh eliminates unexpected logouts when using providers like Keycloak. Optional shallow Git cloning can cut repository fetch times from minutes to seconds in large monorepos. The Source Hydrator gains inline parameter support and better monorepo handling. AppProject cluster resource whitelisting now supports filtering by individual resource names for finer-grained RBAC. First-class KEDA support lets operators pause and resume ScaledObjects and ScaledJobs directly from the UI. The release also includes Redis credential improvements, Ceph CRD health checks, and various UI refinements. Argo CD 3.3.2 is available now.
