Verify and document migration from client-side to server-side apply with kpt live

Open mortent opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

We added support for server-side apply for kpt in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cli-utils/pull/257, but I don't think we have fully explored the experience for updating from client-side to server-side apply. Even the k8s documentation isn't super specific on this: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/server-side-apply/#upgrading-from-client-side-apply-to-server-side-apply

Some open questions here:

  • How does the migration work for situations where the field manager is something else than kubectl? Is there something special about the kubectl field manager during the process?
  • What is the expectation on the use of the --force flag for migration?
