Description

Description:

Describe the desired behavior, what scenario it enables and how it would be used.

Use the GetAPIReader handle instead of the GetClient() handle to read larger objects such as Secrets and ConfigMaps by not storing them in the Controller Runtime Cache and directly reading them from the API server

[optional Relevant Links:]

Any extra documentation required to understand the issue.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify all places where Secrets and ConfigMaps are read via GetClient() and replace with mgr.GetAPIReader() to bypass the controller runtime cache. Ensure that the objects are not expected to be cached, and verify that direct reads do not cause excessive API calls.
