Orchestration API removal
Kubernetes 1.36 gitRepo volume disabled permanently gitRepo volume feature gate official
Pod admission/startup fails for a manifest that still mounts a gitRepo volume.
Agent Quick Fix
Repair against the current Kubernetes contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.
Product: Kubernetes
Current-contract area: Kubernetes 1.36 permanently disables gitRepo volume
Likely root cause: Pod admission/startup fails for a manifest that still mounts a gitRepo volume.
Repair direction: Verifier checks migrated apiVersion/fields and preservation of behavior. Check resource behavior after apply, not only schema acceptance.
Symptom
Pod admission/startup fails for a manifest that still mounts a gitRepo volume.
Why This Happens
Manifests are static and may still validate against cached schemas; the target cluster's served API set is external and version-specific.
Common Wrong Fixes
- Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
- Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
- Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
