I think the case-insensitive behavior comes from kubectl. Kubernetes API server is case sensitive. One can verify that by running kubectl with --v=9 to check the actual API request. IIRC other clients like client-go are also case-sensitive. /priority awaiting-more-evidence |
Make Resource Lookup Case-Insensitive to Match Kubernetes API Behavior

What this PR does / why we need it
This PR implements case-insensitive resource lookup in the dynamic client to match the actual behavior of the Kubernetes API. Currently, when using the dynamic client to look up resources, the search is case-sensitive, which causes issues when users attempt to look up resources with different casing than what's defined in the API server.
The Kubernetes API itself is case-insensitive when it comes to resource kinds. For example, both
kubectl get pod
andkubectl get Pod
work correctly. This PR makes the Python client's behavior consistent with the API server's behavior.Key changes

This change is backward compatible with existing code as it maintains the same behavior for exact case matches. It only adds the additional capability to find resources when the case doesn't exactly match.
