Transition from rollingUpdate to Recreate hits a kubectl shortcoming

[laszlocph]

We use the recreate strategy when a volume is defined.

  strategy:
    rollingUpdate: null
    type: Recreate

Seems to solve the issue with kubectl apply.

It doesn't seem to work in Flux though. Todo: test case with Flux, report issue in Flux if doesn't work

Good First Issue

How is it so?

The bug is well described in the linked Kubernetes issue. That issue is resolved, and kubectl is able to propagate null fields to the api server. The task is to test that behavior, and then test again when flux does the apply

@laszlocph is there a linked issue for the flux-apply ?

I never pursued this further.
