Hi,

I'm deploying a chart like cert-manager on a kubernetes cluster via pulumi. The cert-manger after start updates a few secrets but then pulumi see this as a change.

Is there a way to tell pulumi to ignore these changes?

Many thx.

Kind regards,
Frederik

Have you tried using this? <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/kubernetes-cert-manager/>

if that doesn't work for you, pulumi ResourceOptions has a field for ignoring changes to certain attributes <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/#ignorechanges>

my question is: what kind of secrets does it change and how can pulumi see that :thinking_face:

I do use cert-manager myself and I know it manages (including creation) secrets for TLS. However, it means that these secrets are managed by the operator and shouldn’t be managed at the same time by pulumi (as it will result in a conflict).

Can you elaborate more on that?
