See the webhook configuration section for details about each config field.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```yaml\napiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1\nkind: ValidatingWebhookConfiguration\nmetadata:\n  name: \"pod-policy.example.com\"\nwebhooks:\n- name: \"pod-policy.example.com\"\n  rules:\n  - apiGroups:   [\"\"]\n    apiVersions: [\"v1\"]\n    operations:  [\"CREATE\"]\n    resources:   [\"pods\"]\n    scope:       \"Namespaced\"\n  clientConfig:\n    service:\n      namespace: \"example-namespace\"\n      name: \"example-service\"\n    caBundle: <CA_BUNDLE>\n  admissionReviewVersions: [\"v1\"]\n  sideEffects: None\n  timeoutSeconds: 5\n```\n\nYou must replace the in the above example by a valid CA bundle which is a PEM-encoded (field value is Base64 encoded) CA bundle for validating the webhook's server certificate.\n\nThe scope field specifies if only cluster-scoped resources (\"Cluster\") or namespace-scoped resources (\"Namespaced\") will match this rule. \"&lowast;\" means that there are no scope restrictions.\n\nWhen using clientConfig.service, the server cert must be valid for ..svc.\n\nDefault timeout for a webhook call is 10 seconds, You can set the timeout and it is encouraged to use a short timeout for webhooks. If the webhook call times out, the request is handled according to the webhook's failure policy.\n\nWhen an API server receives a request that matches one of the rules, the API server sends an admissionReview request to webhook as specified in the clientConfig.\n\nAfter you create the webhook configuration, the system will take a few seconds to honor the new configuration.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
