Kubernetes 1.27 'failed to update managedFields'

[the4thamigo-uk]

We are seeing these kinds of messages in our logs.

"[SHOULD NOT HAPPEN] failed to update managedFields" err="failed to convert new object (airbyte/destination-s3-check-34-1-luwme; /v1, Kind=Pod) to smd typed: .spec.imagePullSecrets: element 0: associative list with keys has an element that omits key field \"name\" (and doesn't have default value)" versionKind="/, Kind=" namespace="airbyte" name="destination-s3-check-34-1-luwme"

These are coming from k8s_control_plane_component, which is not happy with the format of the imagePullSecrets field in this pod manifest. I could be wrong but I believe the code is here :

https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte-platform/blame/main/airbyte-commons-worker/src/main/java/io/airbyte/workers/process/KubePodProcess.java#L583-L597

Our pod manifest is being created like this :

This does not happen with Kubernetes 1.26

Hello @the4thamigo-uk there are some users who were able to run using Kubernetes 1.27 and 1.28.
Does the problem you're facing is specific to Destination S3? Do you have other connections or connectors working?

Hi, thanks for replying. It seems to affect all connectors. Also we see a slightly different error for the orchestrator-repl-job pods :

I can reproduce this on v1.25.16 by these steps:

1. Create a deployment with imagePullSecrets: [{name: ""}]
2. Edit this deployment's imagePullSecrets to [{name: "some-value"}]
3. Vice versa

I think it's a bug of Kubernetes.
