Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add/update objects to already initialized clusters?

No. Once the initialization is completed (and the initializer removed from the LogicalCluster), the init-agent has no way to access the newly created cluster anymore, so it also cannot reconcile after that point.

Reconciling behaviour is planned for future releases, but the exact approach is not yet decided.

Can InitTargets generate random data, like passwords?

Yes! InitTemplates can make use of the entire sprig library, which includes functions to generate passwords, UUIDs etc.

However, the init-agent has no memory, so if one initialization round fails and then agent re-tries, it will re-render all templates and so generate new, different random data.
