@AndrewChubatiuk I understand that installing the operator separately is a valid pattern however I see the way KPS handles this which is to ignore admission webhook validations only on first install of the chart.

https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/blob/a67fd8bb514f30edee5c1680693942d356dcdabb/charts/kube-prometheus-stack/values.yaml#L2751-L2754

Could something like this be done on the victoria-metrics-operator chart as well to improve user experience with the charts? Right now I have just set the failure policy to ignore but it's not ideal keeping it that way as I would love to keep everything deployed together in the k8s stack chart.

Let me know if I should open a new issue instead to track this. Thanks!
