Ephemeral resources and write-only arguments appeared in Terraform a long time ago, back in version 1.10, but there was no opportunity to write about them in detail. The main idea behind them is not to leave “traces” in the state file, which is especially useful for passwords or tokens, because the data only exists during… Read More »

We have a VictoriaLogs Helm chart with a PVC size of 30 GB, which is no longer enough for us, and we need to increase it. But the problem is that .spec.volumeClaimTemplates[*].spec.resources.requests.storage in STS is immutable, that is, we can’t just change the size through values.yaml file, because it will lead to the error“Forbidden: updates… Read More »
I actually started to write about creating my own Kubernetes Operator, but decided to make a separate topic about what a Kubernetes CustomResourceDefinition is, and how creating a CRD works at the level of the Kubernetes API and the etcd.
