Description

We use IaC for everything which also means the SRE agent. With multiple teams managing their own resources, onboarding SRE agent creates a chicken and egg or ownership issue.
Either we need to structure this so SRE's role to the managed resources are defined in the SRE repo. However, teams managing their own code often wants their RBAC to be defined within their definition.
Granting SRE permissions to resources does not automatically add them as a managed resource. So changes might need to happen in multiple places for onboarding. How do other solve this?
Im leaning towards everything defined in the SRE configuration for simplicity..
