5.5. ValidatingWebhookConfiguration YAML file changes

The admission controller requires an initial configuration from Sensor to work. Kubernetes or OpenShift Container Platform saves this configuration, and it remains accessible even if all admission control service replicas are rescheduled onto other nodes. If this initial configuration exists, the admission controller enforces all configured deploy-time policies.

If Sensor or Central becomes unavailable later:

Red Hat recommends that you schedule the admission control service on the control plane and not on worker nodes. The deployment YAML file includes a soft preference for running on the control plane, however it is not enforced.

By default, the admission control service runs 3 replicas. To increase reliability, you can increase the replicas by running the following command:

$ oc -n stackrox scale deploy/admission-control --replicas=<number_of_replicas> 

You can use the following options when you generate a Sensor deployment YAML file:

Both these options are optional, and are false by default.
