What problem does it solve?
Fixes deadlocks that occur when a single-replica Kubernetes Deployment uses a ReadWriteOnce PVC during rolling updates. The new pod cannot start because the old pod holds the volume, and the old pod often won't terminate due to maxUnavailable. Also covers the secondary error 'spec.strategy.rollingUpdate: Forbidden: may not be specified when strategy type is Recreate' when patching a live Deployment.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Set Recreate strategy in Helm values in order to avoid RollingUpdate conflicts during upgrades.
- Provide a safe, delete-and-recreate workflow when live deployments still expose rollingUpdate fields.
- Verify the applied strategy and understand the downtime trade-off for single-replica stateful apps.
Quick Start
Set the deployment to Recreate and verify a successful upgrade to prevent deadlocks.
