Setting up the webhooks

Our conversion is in place, so all that’s left is to tell controller-runtime about our conversion.

Normally, we’d run

kubebuilder create webhook --group batch --version v1 --kind CronJob --conversion

to scaffold out the webhook setup. However, we’ve already got webhook setup, from when we built our defaulting and validating webhooks!

Webhook setup…

This setup doubles as setup for our conversion webhooks: as long as our types implement the Hub and Convertible interfaces, a conversion webhook will be registered.
