The VPA controller is writing out events every 8 or so minutes about updating the deployment for vpa-recommender-default and the vpa-updater-default (slightly less often). However no actual change is being made to these deployments that I can see, not even the resourceVersion. Events from my cluster are below, you can see the events were fired 400+ times in a single day. We should be only claiming we updated the deployments if an actual change was written out.
