How do I validate CRDs with webhooks?

To validate Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) in Kubernetes using webhooks, you can create an admission webhook that listens to create and update requests for your CRDs. This process ensures that the objects conform to your expected validations before they are persisted in the cluster. Below is a simple example of how to set up a validating admission webhook in Go.

package main import ( "context" "encoding/json" "net/http" "os" admissionv1 "k8s.io/api/admission/v1" metav1 "k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/apis/meta/v1" "k8s.io/apiserver/pkg/admission" "k8s.io/apiserver/pkg/admission/plugin/webhook" "k8s.io/client-go/kubernetes/scheme" ) func validateCRD(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { var admissionResponse admissionv1.AdmissionResponse // Decode the request var admissionReview admissionv1.AdmissionReview if err := json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&admissionReview); err != nil { admissionResponse.Allowed = false admissionResponse.Result = &metav1.Status{ Reason: "Failed to decode request", } writeResponse(w, admissionResponse) return } // Perform validation logic here // For demonstration, we allow all requests admissionResponse.Allowed = true // Write the admission response back writeResponse(w, admissionResponse) } func writeResponse(w http.ResponseWriter, admissionResponse admissionv1.AdmissionResponse) { admissionReviewResponse := admissionv1.AdmissionReview{ Response: &admissionResponse, } responseBytes, _ := json.Marshal(admissionReviewResponse) w.Write(responseBytes) } func main() { http.HandleFunc("/validate", validateCRD) port := os.Getenv("PORT") if port == "" { port = "8080" } http.ListenAndServe(":"+port, nil) }
