I'm sure the OP understood. But there is fine irony in the fact that a product that sells itself as immutable infrastructure is highly mutable.

Is it irony? Immutable data structures in languages like Haskell work the same way, copies are made and then the older ones are garbage collected. Seems like the same definition applies here.

Immutable doesn’t mean it cannot be updated. It just means that updates are happening without touching the same copy. This CoW-ish style is what they’re selling.
