Network attachment definition admission controller

An admission controller to check resources as defined by the Network Plumbing Working Group de-facto CRD specification upon their creation.

This admission controller is aware of some of the aspects of what's required when you create NetworkAttachmentDefinition custom resources, and can report back to the user that those resources are well formatted, to improve their experience.

Getting started

Clone this repository and execute ./hack/webhook-deployment.sh to deploy:

$ ./hack/webhook-deployment.sh

Example of the admission controller in action

If you're to create a NetworkAttachmentDefinition which has something that's out of whack -- in this example malformatted JSON -- you'll get some feedback that something is wrong.

$ cat <<EOF | kubectl create -f -
apiVersion: "k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1"
kind: NetworkAttachmentDefinition
metadata:
  name: bad-conf
spec:
  config: '{
      "cniVersion": "0.3.0"malFormattedJSON
      }
    }'
EOF
Error from server: error when creating "STDIN": admission webhook "net-attach-def-admission-controller-validating-config.k8s.cni.cncf.io" denied the request: invalid config: error parsing configuration: invalid character 'm' after object key:value pair

If you create a valid NetworkAttachmentDefinition, you'll find that the custom resource is created successfully.

$ cat <<EOF | kubectl create -f -
apiVersion: "k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1"
kind: NetworkAttachmentDefinition
metadata:
  name: macvlan-conf
spec:
  config: '{
      "cniVersion": "0.3.0",
      "type": "macvlan",
      "master": "eth0",
      "mode": "bridge",
      "ipam": {
        "type": "host-local",
        "subnet": "192.168.1.0/24",
        "rangeStart": "192.168.1.200",
        "rangeEnd": "192.168.1.216",
        "routes": [
          { "dst": "0.0.0.0/0" }
        ],
        "gateway": "192.168.1.1"
      }
    }'
EOF

Collecting metrics with Prometheus

Network attachment definition admission controller comes with following metrics.

1. No. of instances with k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks annotations
2. Is cluster enabled with instances annotated with k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks.

To install Prometheus and enable scraping the endpoints , execute ./hack/prometheus-deployment.sh

Building the admission controller

To build the admission controller, ensure it exists in your go path (we recommend you clone it to $GOPATH/src/github.com/k8snetworkplumbingwg/net-attach-def-admission-controller).

While in that directory, simple run:

make

For full installation and troubleshooting steps please see Installation guide.
