kube-apiserver Admission (v1)

Resource Types

AdmissionReview

AdmissionReview describes an admission review request/response.

FieldDescription
apiVersion
string
admission.k8s.io/v1
kind
string
AdmissionReview
request
AdmissionRequest

Request describes the attributes for the admission request.

response
AdmissionResponse

Response describes the attributes for the admission response.

AdmissionRequest

Appears in:

AdmissionRequest describes the admission.Attributes for the admission request.

FieldDescription
uid [Required]
k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/types.UID

UID is an identifier for the individual request/response. It allows us to distinguish instances of requests which are otherwise identical (parallel requests, requests when earlier requests did not modify etc) The UID is meant to track the round trip (request/response) between the KAS and the WebHook, not the user request. It is suitable for correlating log entries between the webhook and apiserver, for either auditing or debugging.

kind [Required]
meta/v1.GroupVersionKind

Kind is the fully-qualified type of object being submitted (for example, v1.Pod or autoscaling.v1.Scale)

resource [Required]
meta/v1.GroupVersionResource

Resource is the fully-qualified resource being requested (for example, v1.pods)

subResource
string

SubResource is the subresource being requested, if any (for example, "status" or "scale")

requestKind
meta/v1.GroupVersionKind

RequestKind is the fully-qualified type of the original API request (for example, v1.Pod or autoscaling.v1.Scale). If this is specified and differs from the value in "kind", an equivalent match and conversion was performed.

For example, if deployments can be modified via apps/v1 and apps/v1beta1, and a webhook registered a rule of apiGroups:["apps"], apiVersions:["v1"], resources: ["deployments"] and matchPolicy: Equivalent, an API request to apps/v1beta1 deployments would be converted and sent to the webhook with kind: {group:"apps", version:"v1", kind:"Deployment"} (matching the rule the webhook registered for), and requestKind: {group:"apps", version:"v1beta1", kind:"Deployment"} (indicating the kind of the original API request).

See documentation for the "matchPolicy" field in the webhook configuration type for more details.

requestResource
meta/v1.GroupVersionResource

RequestResource is the fully-qualified resource of the original API request (for example, v1.pods). If this is specified and differs from the value in "resource", an equivalent match and conversion was performed.

For example, if deployments can be modified via apps/v1 and apps/v1beta1, and a webhook registered a rule of apiGroups:["apps"], apiVersions:["v1"], resources: ["deployments"] and matchPolicy: Equivalent, an API request to apps/v1beta1 deployments would be converted and sent to the webhook with resource: {group:"apps", version:"v1", resource:"deployments"} (matching the resource the webhook registered for), and requestResource: {group:"apps", version:"v1beta1", resource:"deployments"} (indicating the resource of the original API request).

See documentation for the "matchPolicy" field in the webhook configuration type.

requestSubResource
string

RequestSubResource is the name of the subresource of the original API request, if any (for example, "status" or "scale") If this is specified and differs from the value in "subResource", an equivalent match and conversion was performed. See documentation for the "matchPolicy" field in the webhook configuration type.

name
string

Name is the name of the object as presented in the request. On a CREATE operation, the client may omit name and rely on the server to generate the name. If that is the case, this field will contain an empty string.

namespace
string

Namespace is the namespace associated with the request (if any).

operation [Required]
Operation

Operation is the operation being performed. This may be different than the operation requested. e.g. a patch can result in either a CREATE or UPDATE Operation.

userInfo [Required]
authentication/v1.UserInfo

UserInfo is information about the requesting user

object
k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/runtime.RawExtension

Object is the object from the incoming request.

oldObject
k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/runtime.RawExtension

OldObject is the existing object. Only populated for DELETE and UPDATE requests.

dryRun
bool

DryRun indicates that modifications will definitely not be persisted for this request. Defaults to false.

options
k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/runtime.RawExtension

Options is the operation option structure of the operation being performed. e.g. meta.k8s.io/v1.DeleteOptions or meta.k8s.io/v1.CreateOptions. This may be different than the options the caller provided. e.g. for a patch request the performed Operation might be a CREATE, in which case the Options will a meta.k8s.io/v1.CreateOptions even though the caller provided meta.k8s.io/v1.PatchOptions.

AdmissionResponse

Appears in:

AdmissionResponse describes an admission response.

FieldDescription
uid [Required]
k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/types.UID

UID is an identifier for the individual request/response. This must be copied over from the corresponding AdmissionRequest.

allowed [Required]
bool

Allowed indicates whether or not the admission request was permitted.

status
meta/v1.Status

Result contains extra details into why an admission request was denied. This field IS NOT consulted in any way if "Allowed" is "true".

patch
[]byte

The patch body. Currently we only support "JSONPatch" which implements RFC 6902.

patchType
PatchType

The type of Patch. Currently we only allow "JSONPatch".

auditAnnotations
map[string]string

AuditAnnotations is an unstructured key value map set by remote admission controller (e.g. error=image-blacklisted). MutatingAdmissionWebhook and ValidatingAdmissionWebhook admission controller will prefix the keys with admission webhook name (e.g. imagepolicy.example.com/error=image-blacklisted). AuditAnnotations will be provided by the admission webhook to add additional context to the audit log for this request.

warnings
[]string

warnings is a list of warning messages to return to the requesting API client. Warning messages describe a problem the client making the API request should correct or be aware of. Limit warnings to 120 characters if possible. Warnings over 256 characters and large numbers of warnings may be truncated.
