<p>I'm trying to deploy updates. Installation works fine, but when I change the image field in the yaml file for Job and try to roll updates, an error occurs.</p>

<p>I still didn’t understand which field should be immutable, probably Image, but it’s very strange, it makes sense that I can embed Image.</p>

<p>The error occurs when I change the field Image from ...: insurance-master-682 to ...: insurance-master-681 for example</p>

<p>I change the chart file every time I install or update, I change the version field.
So, has anyone encountered this?
while I see the only way out is to apply 'kubectl delete job ...' before updating</p>

<p>The existing job need to be deleted, because the template section in the job is immutable or not updatable. so you have 2 following options.</p>
<ol>
<li>Always create a new job with a unique name, so it leaves the old jobs and creates a new one - every time if you include the version of image would be sensible.</li>
<li>Automatic cleaning of jobs (more info <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/job/#clean-up-finished-jobs-automatically" rel="noreferrer">check here</a>) - The job property <code>ttlSecondsAfterFinished</code> allows helps to delete the job automatically after a sepecified period.
for eg:</li>
</ol>
<pre><code>    apiVersion: batch/v1
    kind: Job
    metadata:
      name: pi-with-ttl
    spec:
      ttlSecondsAfterFinished: 100
      template:
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: pi
            image: perl
            command: [&quot;perl&quot;,  &quot;-Mbignum=bpi&quot;, &quot;-wle&quot;, &quot;print bpi(2000)&quot;]
          restartPolicy: Never
