This is a backport of PR #915 as merged into main (6a0635a).
SUMMARY
By hiding fields first before creating a diff hidden fields will not be shown in the resulting diffs and therefore will also not trigger the changed condition.
The issue can only be reproduced when a mutating webhook changes the object while the kubernetes.core.k8s module is working with it.
kubevirt/kubevirt.core#145
ISSUE TYPE
Bugfix Pull Request
COMPONENT NAME
kubernetes.core.module_utils.k8s.service
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Run kubernetes.core.k8s and create object with hidden fields. After run kubernetes.core.k8s again and let a webhook mutate the object that the module is working with. The module should return with changed: no.
