What problem does it solve?

Kubernetes resources sometimes enforce immutability on certain fields after creation, making Helm charts and GitOps tooling unable to configure them directly and causing patch failures or drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Option A — Degrade the chart resource and own the immutable field in a separate manifest that is managed independently.
  • Option B — Use an ArgoCD PreSync hook to delete the resource before sync so it can be recreated with correct values.
  • Option C — Use ignoreDifferences to suppress drift when the field is cosmetic or non-critical.

Quick Start

Implement the immutable-field workaround by deploying a separate manifest for the immutable field and leaving the chart-managed resource to be recreated with the correct values.
