  • Publication number: 20250293991
    Abstract: An approach for modification of a custom resource in an orchestration platform. One step provides a modification custom resource definition for updating one or more fields in a custom resource. Another step inserts a modification intermediary between a managing operator of the custom resource and an orchestration application programming interface (API) server including restarting a deployment of the managing operator to update pods of the deployment to connect to the modification intermediary when receiving a request for the custom resource. Another step intercepts, by the modification intermediary, requests for the custom resource between the operator and the orchestration API server and modifies the custom resource by applying an update to the request according to the modification custom resource whilst hiding the update from the operator.
