This doesn't seem to provide the same results if compared with the original code. Previously we were stripping the types from obj and using that to marshal into data. In the new code, data will just hold the Marshal(obj) result which could lead to a different behaviour. To validate this, it would be better to write unit tests that validate the type stripping logic. Checking on Pod resources values will probably be an easy way to validate this:

    resources:
      requests:
        memory: "64Mi"
        cpu: "250m"
      limits:
        memory: "128Mi"
        cpu: "500m"

data is only used only for another Unmarshal (or, more specifically, unmarshaling via json.NewDecoder, but the behavior should be the same).

So before we had:

unstructured -> marshal -> unmarshal to unstructured -> marshal -> unmarshal to schema type

Now it will be:

unstructured -> marshal -> unmarshal to schema type

i.e. we're skipping unmarshal to unstructured (which is just map[string]interface{}) and the second marshal.

My belief is that those to steps don't remove any type information that unstructured -> marshal doesn't already remove.

But I'll write some tests to give us a bit more confidence that we're not losing anything important.

if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
obj = &newUn

gvk := obj.GroupVersionKind()
item, err := scheme.Scheme.New(obj.GroupVersionKind())
if err != nil {
