 `diffAgainstLastAppliedFieldExclusionRules` specify which fields should be removed before diff-ing against last applied resource. These rules are useful for fields are "owned" by the cluster/controllers, and are only later updated. For example `Deployment` resource has an annotation that gets set after a little bit of time after resource is created/updated (not during resource admission). It's typically not necessary to use this configuration.

+`diffAgainstExistingFieldExclusionRules` specify which fields should be removed before diff-ing against a resource. These rules are useful for fields that are "owned" by the cluster/controllers, and are only updated later. For example a `Custom Resource Definition` resource has a `status` field that gets altered now and then, especially between a diff and the actual apply step. It's typically not necessary to use this configuration.

 ### diffMaskRules
 
 `diffMaskRules` specify which field values should be masked in diff. By default `v1/Secret`'s `data` fields are masked. Currently only applied to `deploy` command.
