Why do you want to ignore those fields?

Because changing the metadata.name recreates a PVC. To not lose data, we ignore the whole metadata field because we don't know updates to which other metadata fields cause recreations.

Changing the name does indeed recreate a PVC, but that's the intended behaviour. I'd suggest using

preview

to verify change sets, as ignoring the entire metadata could have unintended side effects as you've noticed.

That's not a feasible option since the up flow is automated using the automation API, so we do not preview the changes. But anyway, ignoring just the

metadata.name

has been enough to ensure that the PVC is not deleted on changes. Thank you for your input!
