Overview of the Issue

In version 0.40.0 a change (#1000) introduced that adds "-client" to DaemonSet. Unfortunately that renders updateStrategy: OnDelete (as recommended on https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/docs/k8s/upgrade#upgrading-consul-servers) useless as the old DaemonSet is being removed due to name change.

Is there a workaround?

Reproduction Steps

Upgrade from 0.38.0 to 0.47.1 following steps listed on https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/docs/k8s/upgrade#upgrading-consul-servers

Sorry for the troubles with the upgrade. We only intend on introducing breaking changes between minor versions and not patch releases moving forward. We also now have release notes for consul-k8s as shown here: https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/docs/release-notes/consul-k8s/v1_2_x
