APIServerSNI environment variable injection

If the Gardener administrator has enabled APIServerSNI feature gate for a particular Seed cluster, then in each Shoot cluster's kube-system namespace a DaemonSet called apiserver-proxy is deployed. It routes traffic to the upstream Shoot Kube APIServer. See the APIServer SNI GEP for more details.

To skip this extra network hop, a mutating webhook called apiserver-proxy.networking.gardener.cloud is deployed next to the API server in the Seed. It adds KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST environment variable to each container and init container that do not specify it. See the webhook repository for more information.

Opt-out of pod injection

In some cases it's desirable to opt-out of Pod injection:

  • DNS is disabled on that individual Pod, but it still needs to talk to the kube-apiserver.
  • Want to test the kube-proxy and kubelet in-cluster discovery.

Opt-out of pod injection for specific pods

To opt out of the injection, the Pod should be labeled with apiserver-proxy.networking.gardener.cloud/inject: disable e.g.:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nginx
  labels:
    app: nginx
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: nginx
        apiserver-proxy.networking.gardener.cloud/inject: disable
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: nginx:1.14.2
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80

Opt-out of pod injection on namespace level

To opt out of the injection of all Pods in a namespace, you should label your namespace with apiserver-proxy.networking.gardener.cloud/inject: disable e.g.:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  labels:
    apiserver-proxy.networking.gardener.cloud/inject: disable
  name: my-namespace

or via kubectl for existing namespace:

kubectl label namespace my-namespace apiserver-proxy.networking.gardener.cloud/inject=disable

NOTE: Please be aware that it's not possible to disable injection on namespace level and enable it for individual pods in it.

Opt-out of pod injection for the entire cluster

If the injection is causing problems for different workloads and ignoring individual pods or namespaces is not possible, then the feature could be disabled for the entire cluster with the alpha.featuregates.shoot.gardener.cloud/apiserver-sni-pod-injector annotation with value disable on the Shoot resource itself:

apiVersion: core.gardener.cloud/v1beta1
kind: Shoot
metadata:
  annotations:
    alpha.featuregates.shoot.gardener.cloud/apiserver-sni-pod-injector: 'disable'
  name: my-cluster

or via kubectl for existing shoot cluster:

kubectl label shoot my-cluster alpha.featuregates.shoot.gardener.cloud/apiserver-sni-pod-injector=disable

NOTE: Please be aware that it's not possible to disable injection on cluster level and enable it for individual pods in it.
