kubewebhook

master targets v2, if you are looking for v1, check this.

Kubewebhook is a small Go framework to create external admission webhooks for Kubernetes.

With Kubewebhook you can make validating and mutating webhooks in any version, fast, easy, and focusing mainly on the domain logic of the webhook itself.

Features

• Ready for mutating and validating webhook kinds.
• Abstracts webhook versioning (compatible with v1beta1 and v1).
• Resource inference (compatible with CRDs and fallbacks to Unstructured).
• Easy and testable API.
• Simple, extensible and flexible.
• Multiple webhooks on the same server.
• Webhook metrics (RED) for Prometheus with Grafana dashboard included.
• Supports warnings.

Getting started

Use github.com/slok/kubewebhook/v2 to import Kubewebhook v2.

func run() error {
    logger := &kwhlog.Std{Debug: true}

    // Create our mutator
    mt := kwhmutating.MutatorFunc(func(_ context.Context, _ *kwhmodel.AdmissionReview, obj metav1.Object) (*kwhmutating.MutatorResult, error) {
        pod, ok := obj.(*corev1.Pod)
        if !ok {
            return &kwhmutating.MutatorResult{}, nil
        }

        // Mutate our object with the required annotations.
        if pod.Annotations == nil {
            pod.Annotations = make(map[string]string)
        }
        pod.Annotations["mutated"] = "true"
        pod.Annotations["mutator"] = "pod-annotate"

        return &kwhmutating.MutatorResult{MutatedObject: pod}, nil
    })

    // Create webhook.
    wh, err := kwhmutating.NewWebhook(kwhmutating.WebhookConfig{
        ID:      "pod-annotate",
        Mutator: mt,
        Logger:  logger,
    })
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("error creating webhook: %w", err)
    }

    // Get HTTP handler from webhook.
    whHandler, err := kwhhttp.HandlerFor(kwhhttp.HandlerConfig{Webhook: wh, Logger: logger})
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("error creating webhook handler: %w", err)
    }

    // Serve.
    logger.Infof("Listening on :8080")
    err = http.ListenAndServeTLS(":8080", cfg.certFile, cfg.keyFile, whHandler)
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("error serving webhook: %w", err)
    }

    return nil

Production ready example

This repository is a production ready webhook app: https://github.com/slok/k8s-webhook-example

It shows, different webhook use cases, app structure, testing domain logic, kubewebhook use case, how to deploy...

Static and dynamic webhooks

We have 2 kinds of webhooks:

• Static: Common one, is a single resource type webhook.
  • Use mutating.WebhookConfig.Obj to configure.
  • Use validating.WebhookConfig.Obj to configure.
• Dynamic: Used when the same webhook act on multiple types, unknown types and/or is used for generic stuff (e.g labels).
  • To use this kind of webhook, don't set the type on the configuration or set to nil.
  • If a request for an unknown type is not known by the webhook libraries, it will fallback to runtime.Unstructured object type.
  • Very useful to manipulate multiple resources on the same webhook (e.g Deployments, Statfulsets).
  • CRDs are unknown types so they will fallback to runtime.Unstructured`.
  • If using CRDs, better use Static webhooks.
  • Very useful to maniputale any metadata based validation or mutations (e.g Labels, annotations...)

Compatibility matrix

The Kubernetes' version associated with Kubewebhook's versions means that this specific version is tested and supports the shown K8s version, however, this doesn't mean that doesn't work with other versions. Normally they work with multiple versions (e.g v1.18 and v1.19).

Kubewebhook version	k8s version	Supported admission reviews	Support dynamic webhooks
v2.0	1.20	v1beta1, v1	✔
v0.11	1.19	v1beta1	✔
