<p>Is this even possible?</p>

<p>I am trying to speed up updating configs for my pods. But they are restarted each time (in a StatefulSet)</p>

<p>Would have been nice to change minor configs like resource limits/requests without restarting the pod. </p>

<p>No, you can't update resources spec without recreating pod. Here is <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/24913" rel="noreferrer">related issue on github</a></p>
