How does the Kubernetes admission controller work, what are the failure modes and what do we need to guard against?
Today, we discuss almost everything that you need to know to understand the admission controller process better and to think about it in a secure, robust and resilient way.
I can’t think of a better primer on today’s topic and Kubernetes architecture more generally, I am certain you will enjoy the discussion.

Rob’s Hot Take:
In the November 15th Cloud 2030 Podcast episode, Rob Hirschfeld delves into the intriguing topic of Kubernetes admission controllers, emphasizing how Kubernetes architecture fosters innovation by allowing admission controllers to function as a generic property, avoiding the need for direct embedding into Kubernetes itself. The discussion explores the open system created by admission controllers, which, while offering valuable capabilities, introduces complexity, overhead, and performance considerations. Kubernetes appears to have successfully balanced these factors, contributing significantly to the industry. For those interested in this fascinating conversation, the entire podcast is available at the2030.cloud, inviting participation in ongoing roundtable discussions.
