At least one user has reported frustration that when their workspace restarted, all of their data went missing. While we could solve this with some explicit ephemeral flag, a more powerful approach is adding a description field to each resource via coder_metadata. For example:

resource "coder_metadata" "deployment" {
  count = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
  resource_id = kubernetes_deployment.coder[0].id
  description = "⚠️ The pod filesystem deletes on shutdown"
  item {
    key = "name"
    value = kubernetes_deployment.coder[0].metadata[0].name
  }
}

I like doing this via metadata!

We could also include a /etc/motd in images to share that any software installed is removed on restart.
