Details

Do not allow all requests.

Rationale:

Setting admission control plugin ‘AlwaysAdmit’ allows all requests and do not filter any requests.

Solution

Edit the API server pod specification file ‘/etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml’ on the master node and set the ‘–enable-admission-plugins’ parameter to a value that does not include ‘AlwaysAdmit’.
