[Bug]: failed to install release: create: failed to create: Secret "sh.helm.release.v1.my-nginx-ingress.v1" is invalid: data: Too long: must have at most 1048576 bytes

What Kubernetes platforms are you running on?

Openshift

Steps to reproduce

When deploying the NGINX Ingress Controller via the Operator on OpenShift 4.18, the installation fails with the following error:

failed to install release: create: failed to create: Secret "sh.helm.release.v1.my-nginx-ingress.v1" is invalid: data: Too long: must have at most 1048576 bytes

This appears to be due to the Helm release metadata exceeding the 1MiB limit imposed on Kubernetes Secrets.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Deploy the operator in an OpenShift 4.18 cluster.
2. Apply a moderately complex custom resource (I used the template here)
3. Observe the failure with the Secret size error.
