Description of problem: There is a subset of configuration fields in Kubevirt CR which define controller behavior rather than deployment desired state. For example the migration configuration doesn't require any reconciliation of the virt-controller. The controller will read the updated bits upon its regular execution cycles. Nevertheless, when changing such configuration, virt-operator performs reconciliation. The operator patches the virt-api, virt-controller, PDB and webhook resources with a new annotation each time. This is redundant, since the generation number should reflect the changes made to the resources, and not the internal runtime configuration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit the Kubevirt CR. Update the following: - spec.configration.migrations.parallelMigrationsPerCluster: 100 2. Observe the the virt-api deployment resource. kubevirt.io/generation will increase. Also metadata.generation will increase 3. Observe the Kubevirt CR status. The Last generation of the above-mentioned operands will increase. Actual results: Generation annotations of operands is being bumped Expected results: Generation annotation should be bumped only when desired state changed. Additional info:
