Description

Proposal

When using the operator in a meshed environment, e.g. linkerd, the jobs will never finish, as the proxy sidecar container does not end. In consequence, the operator will never see the backup job finishing - and not allow to start new backups as former one is still "active".
This could be solved when the operator inherits / applies an annotation to the backup jobs, that will prevent the mesh injection.

Use-Case

Using the operator with backups in a service meshed environment like linkerd or istio

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating where the operator creates backup jobs and handles their completion, then determine how job annotations are applied. Done means backup jobs in Linkerd or Istio-meshed environments avoid proxy injection and can finish so subsequent backups are allowed.
