Admission Webhook Good Practices — Prevent your webhook from triggering itself

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Mutating webhooks that respond to a broad range of API requests might unintentionally trigger themselves. For example, consider a webhook that responds to all requests in the cluster. If you configure the webhook to create Event objects for every mutation, it'll respond to its own Event object creation requests. To avoid this, consider setting a unique label in any resources that your webhook creates. Exclude this label from your webhook match conditions.
