POD not getting sidecar even though injection is requested

[borajuanjo]

What's going on?

PODs are not getting sidecars, even though the injection is requested. Funnily I got it to work once on a training cluster, and then I deleted the cluster and I can't get it to work again.

Expected Behavior

PODs should get created with sidecar.

Reproducer

I just went through the documentation step by step, and I can't identify what I'm doing wrong, or what I did differently that one time I got it to work.

Here are some logs for when the debian-debug POD gets deployed, but no sidecar.

Here's the debian-debug POD with no sidecar.

• k8s-sidecar-injector Version: latest (as of March 23rd 2022)

Very same here. Running on Azure Kubernetes with K8s v1.23.5

[karolmalyszko]

Got the same issue on AWS EKS v1.21, but made it to work. Looks like main problem lies in MutatingWebhookConfiguration. In original example manifests, webhook config had

• apiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1

which was refused by K8s in my case, had to modify it to

• apiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1

To conform with K8s requirements for this API version, I had to add additional keys for sideEffects: and admissionReviewVersions: (K8s docs here).

Two WAG's followed :: first one for sideEffects where i put 'None', second one for admissionReviewVersions where i started with 'v1'. This led to successful deployment of MutatingWebhookConfiguration, but the sidecars were not being added to test pods / deployments, same as for both of you. Search through codebase got me to webhook.go line 613 :: admissionReview := v1beta1.AdmissionReview{}

Change of admissionReviewVersions from v1 to v1beta1 got the problem solved, sidecar started as expected. Here's a gist with example mutating-webhook-configuration.yaml

Hope this helps.

So helpful! Thank you! I also had this issue.

I've taken your image updates and pushed it to docker hub if anyone else would like to use it. mindovermiles262/sidecar-injector

Change the deployment.yaml image to:

spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: "k8s-sidecar-injector"
        [ ... ]
        # image: tumblr/k8s-sidecar-injector:latest   <-- Comment this line out, and update
        image: mindovermiles262/sidecar-injector

Note, this image works with the updated mutating webhook configuration where the apiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1 and webhooks.sideEffects: None
