The exclude rules take precedence over include rules (if a resource matches both, it is excluded)\n\nFieldDescription excludeResourceRulesNamedRuleWithOperations array excludeResourceRules describes what operations on what resources/subresources the ValidatingAdmissionPolicy should not care about. The exclude rules take precedence over include rules (if a resource matches both, it is excluded) matchPolicystring matchPolicy defines how the \"MatchResources\" list is used to match incoming requests. Allowed values are \"Exact\" or \"Equivalent\". - Exact: match a request only if it exactly matches a specified rule. For example, if deployments can be modified via apps/v1, apps/v1beta1, and extensions/v1beta1, but \"rules\" only included apiGroups:[\"apps\"], apiVersions:[\"v1\"], resources: [\"deployments\"], a request to apps/v1beta1 or extensions/v1beta1 would not be sent to the ValidatingAdmissionPolicy. - Equivalent: match a request if modifies a resource listed in rules, even via another API group or version. For example, if deployments can be modified via apps/v1, apps/v1beta1, and extensions/v1beta1, and \"rules\" only included apiGroups:[\"apps\"], apiVersions:[\"v1\"], resources: [\"deployments\"], a request to apps/v1beta1 or extensions/v1beta1 would be converted to apps/v1 and sent to the ValidatingAdmissionPolicy. Defaults to \"Equivalent\"Possible enum values: - \"Equivalent\" means requests should be sent to the webhook if they modify a resource listed in rules via another API group or version. - \"Exact\" means requests should only be sent to the webhook if they exactly match a given rule. namespaceSelectorLabelSelector namespaceSelector decides whether to run the admission control policy on an object based on whether the namespace for that object matches the selector. If the object itself is a namespace, the matching is performed on object.metadata.labels. If the object is another cluster scoped resource, it never skips the policy. …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
