Pretty sure you should always use some kind of higher level wrapper - a Deployment, batchJob, something

It does seem like a pod controller has some overlap with Pulumi, so I just keep things simpler locally and use pulumi to control the pods

The main point though is that there seems to be some effort to define which fields should cause the pod to replace vs update, but it’s currently not fully specced maybe?

Pod controllers need to be running all the time, to handle rolling deployments, PDBs, scaling etc.
