GCP Storage Bucket "state-into-spec". What is that?

40 Views Asked by At

Using Google's Config Connector, one of the annotations is "state-into-spec". This has no documentation and I couldn't find anything about it with a search. Can anyone enlighten me on what this means?

After a deeper search, I did manage to find the relevant documentation. I'll post it here in case others have the same problem:

The documentation can provide better details than I can, but in short:

  • When your YAML has missing optional fields, they get populated by default values in GCP's API.
  • You might not want that at times.
  • There are examples in the documentation describing the implications and when you might want to change state-into-spec.
