Automatic Service Restart

To enable the restart of Deployments, StatefulSets, and DaemonSets when changes are made to the mounted Secrets or ConfigMaps, without the need for tools like Helm, the WWU Kube utilizes stakater/Reloader.

For example, the annotation

secret.reloader.stakater.com/reload: "foo-secret"

on a Deployment would result in the Deployment being restarted whenever the content of the foo-secret Secret changes.

For a more detailed description of the full functionality, please refer to the documentation of the Reloader itself.
