##Benefits of GitOps Runtimes
26
+
27
+
***Single pane of glass visibility**
28
+
All Argo CD instances in Codefresh are managed through a single control plane, which means full visibility for all Runtimes.
29
+
Installed Runtimes are displayed in the GitOps Runtimes page with all the information you need on the Runtime, and actions to manage it.
30
+
31
+
***Effortless maintenance**
32
+
In the Runtimes page, the Version column notifies whenever a new version is available for the Runtime, providing a link to the complete changelog for full transparency when making decisions on upgrades.
33
+
34
+
***Flexibile scalability**
35
+
Single control plane management eliminates the challenge of maintaining multiple Argo CD instances. You can install any number of Argo CD instances and the Runtime will handle the logistics.
36
+
37
+
Scaling down on Argo CD instances is equally straightforward: by connecting additional remote clusters to an existing GitOps Runtime, you can reduce the number of Argo CD instances.
38
+
39
+
***Faster security remediations**
40
+
As an active maintainer of Argo CD, Codefresh ensures timely fixes for security vulnerabilities in our forked version, before rollout to the community version.
41
+
42
+
***Centralized administration**
43
+
Administrative functionality for user, permission, and audit management is centralized and Argo CD agnostic.
