When the write-back method is ArgoCD, the Image Updater sends an update to the ArgoCD Application on each iteration. No matter whether the new image has already been set or not, it always sends the update. In a situation where autoSync is disabled, this means that it continuously sends updates until somebody syncs the Application.
To reduce updates and improve resource usage, this pull request slightly changes the behavior. The Image Updater will check if the new image is already set in the Application source to apply the update or ignore it.
We have tested the changes in our ArgoCD instance to check the feature and you can see the results in the image below. Updates have been reduced. Once they are applied, updates disappear. CPU and memory usage have been improved.
