Use pointer for PSP allow escalation Fixes #53437 The `AllowPrivilegeEscalation` field was added to PodSpec and PodSecurityPolicySpec in 1.8.0. In order to remain compatible with pre-1.8.0 behavior, PodSecurityPolicy objects created against a previous release must not restrict this field, which means the field must default to true in PodSecurityPolicySpec. However, the field was added as a `bool`, not a `*bool`, which means that no defaulting is possible. We have two options: 1. Require all pre-existing PodSecurityPolicy objects that intend to allow privileged permissions to update to set this new field to true 2. Change the field to a `*bool` and default it to true. This PR does the latter. With this change, we have the following behavior: A 1.8.1+ client/server now has three ways to serialize: * `nil` values are dropped from serialization (because `omitempty`), which is interpreted correctly by other 1.8.1+ clients/servers, and is interpreted as false by 1.8.0 * `false` values are serialized and interpreted correctly by all clients/servers * `true` values are serialized and interpreted correctly by all clients/servers A 1.8.0 client/server has two ways to serialize: * `false` values are dropped from serialization (because `omitempty`), which is interpreted as `false` by other 1.8.0 clients/servers, but as `nil` (and therefore defaulting to true) by 1.8.1+ clients/servers * `true` values are serialized and interpreted correctly by all clients/servers The primary concern is the 1.8.0 server dropping the `false` value from serialization, but I consider the compatibility break with pre-1.8 behavior to be more severe, especially if we can resolve the regression in an immediate point release. ```release-note PodSecurityPolicy: Fixes a compatibility issue that caused policies that previously allowed privileged pods to start forbidding them, due to an incorrect default value for `allowPrivilegeEscalation`. PodSecurityPolicy objects defined using a 1.8.0 client or server that intended to set `allowPrivilegeEscalation` to `false` must be reapplied after upgrading to 1.8.1. ```
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts, providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.
Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale using a system called Borg, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If you are a company that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the CNCF announcement.
To start using Kubernetes
See our documentation on kubernetes.io.
Try our interactive tutorial.
Take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes.
To start developing Kubernetes
The community repository hosts all information about building Kubernetes from source, how to contribute code and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:
You have a working Go environment.
$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
$ make
You have a working Docker environment.
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
$ cd kubernetes
$ make quick-release
If you are less impatient, head over to the developer's documentation.
Support
If you need support, start with the troubleshooting guide and work your way through the process that we've outlined.
That said, if you have questions, reach out to us one way or another.
