Running a `kong` kubernetes cluster which includes a kong deployment & two services `kong-admin` & `kong-proxy`. The cluster is running as expected, but when I make a `POST` request for services to `kong-admin api`, the service gets added & after some time the same service gets deleted automatically.
Why are the manually added values getting deleted ?
I’m using a `postgres` database which is bootstrapped. So, I don’t think that database is the issue.

See here : [Kong VS nginx kunernetes ingress controller](https://discuss.konghq.com/t/kong-vs-nginx-kunernetes-ingress-controller/1985/2?u=jeremyjpj0916)
TLDR as an ingress controller, configuring via admin API doesn’t work(it will configure itself back to before the admin api call change) have to use the stored config files and update those.
