kube2iam doesn't restrict IAM access in non-default namespace

[tomekit]

I am running application pods in default namespace. If I try to fetch the credentials: curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials, I get correctly: unable to find role for IP 100.98.143.218

I've recently created new namespace for ingress controller:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: ingress-controller

In that namespace there is a deployment without iam.amazonaws.com/role annotation.
When I try to fetch credentials from within the pod of that deployment, I get full node credentials: nodes.v2.k8s.local/

I would assume that by default kube2iam restricts IAM access and only allow one, once specified, e.g. as mentioned here:
https://github.com/jtblin/kube2iam#namespace-restrictions

Is my assumption correct or perhaps there is a bug in the kube2iam or perhaps there is misconfiguration on my end?

I would appreciate any help on this topic.

Thanks.

@tomekit doesn't look like your DS is using the flag --namespace-restrictions as per the docs @ https://github.com/jtblin/kube2iam#namespace-restrictions.
