ScyllaDB Docs ScyllaDB Operator Support Troubleshooting Troubleshooting installation issues

Caution

You're viewing documentation for an unstable version of ScyllaDB Operator. Switch to the latest stable version.

Troubleshooting installation issues¶

Webhooks¶

ScyllaDB Operator provides several custom API resources that use webhooks to function properly.

Unfortunately, it is often the case that user’s clusters have modified SDN, that doesn’t extend to the control plane, and Kubernetes apiserver is not able to reach the pods that serve the webhook traffic. Another common case are firewall rules that block the webhook traffic.

Note

To be called a Kubernetes cluster, clusters are required to pass Kubernetes conformance test suite. This suite includes tests that require Kubernetes apiserver to be able to reach webhook services.

Note

Before filing an issue, please make sure your cluster webhook traffic can reach your webhook services, independently of ScyllaDB Operator resources.

EKS¶

Custom CNI¶

EKS is currently breaking Kubernetes webhooks when used with custom CNI networking.

Note

We advise you to avoid using such setups and use a conformant Kubernetes cluster that supports webhooks.

There are some workarounds where you can reconfigure the webhook to use Ingress or hostNetwork instead, but it’s beyond a standard configuration that we support and not specific to the ScyllaDB Operator.

GKE¶

Private clusters¶

If you use GKE private clusters you need to manually configure the firewall to allow webhook traffic. You can find more information on how to do that in GKE private clusters docs.
