Hey! I think pulumi updated somehow (does it have automatic updates?), and now it wants to add

<http://app.kubernetes.io/managed-by|app.kubernetes.io/managed-by>: "pulumi"

label to all my k8s resources (probably because of https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes/commit/f23736ef49b83864a518e8c34135a466ca1f1588). Is there a way to opt-out?

@busy-pizza-73563 Pulumi doesn’t automatically update, but you likely have

@pulumi/kubernetes

set to

latest

in your

package.json

if you’re seeing different behavior now.

I didn't want to update all my deployments / daemonsets, as that would recreate all child pods, afaik.

Adding that label shouldn’t affect running workloads. You can check the preview diff to see what changes are expected.

pulumi preview --diff

Are you sure? I know for sure that changing annotations recreates child pods, so I somehow thought changing labels has the same effect.

AFAIK, both annotations and labels in general are just metadata that you can change without further effect. There are cases where a controller acts on a specific label/annotation, e.g., updating Ingress settings, but that’s not the usual case. Would be very interested to see it if you have a counter example.

Yeah, sorry, I used annotations in the past (using helm 🙂 ) to restart pods in a deployment when a configmap changes, but it was actually

.spec.template.annotations

.

Great! You had me a little worried there for a second, and I had to double-check to make sure I wasn’t crazy 😛

Btw, thanks for this amazing tool, it's everything I ever needed to manage kubernetes - especially that I come from a JS/TS background! 😄
