I'm dealing with a tricky situation in my on-prem cluster where the internet access is tightly controlled. My services, including k3s, need access to the internet through a proxy, but the proxy's IP address changes regularly, and I only receive updates verbally. This leads to a lot of manual work since I have to restart services and k3s every time the proxy changes. I'm curious about how to effectively manage the proxy in this scenario, especially since I have deployments handled with and without ArgoCD. Having the proxy values directly in the manifest or stored in a ConfigMap doesn't seem like a viable solution for me.

I totally get the headache this brings. Dealing with verbal updates in enterprise settings is a nightmare! We found that using a centralized management system, like a SaaS-based private cloud platform, really helped us with these dynamic infrastructures. It streamlined our communication and reduced the hassle of these frequent changes. Might be worth looking into!
It sounds frustrating! The proxy's IP is the main culprit here. If it's changing frequently, try to get someone to set up a permanent DNS entry for the proxy. If that's not possible, at least see if they can create a CNAME that points to the changing IP address. This way, you won't have to keep updating all your configurations every time the IP changes.
