@AlexsJones could you add some specifics for how this could work?

[james-milligan]

Using the inbuilt events resource we can assign events to specific pods from within the operator.

My intention is to set up 2 event types for annotated pods, one for when a configuration change is detected, and another for when permissions are backfilled on an upgrade.

The framework for events will then be present in both the feature flag configuration reconcile loop and the pod web hook, allowing for us to introduce new events as and when they are required.

I thought at the the time this might be useful, but I'm not sure what we'd actually send now that would be interesting to a clusteradmin.

@AlexsJones shall I close this issue as not planned for now?

Once we have alternative sync options set up, for example the grpc sync being POC-d here, I would personally want to see events for flagd's successful connection to the server / connection restart for simplified debugging

Closing due to inactivity. Please open a new issue and reference this one if someone Kubernetes Events are required in the future.
