Several SidecarGateway CRs point to the same Pod

As described in CR SidecarGateway, the podSelector selects the Pods to which the CustomResource SidecarGateway should be applied.

Two different ​SidecarGateway CRs might point to the same Pod. That is an invalid configuration and could be detected as follows:

  1. List the SidecarGateway CustomResources
    2. copy
    kubectl get sidecargateways.microgateway.airlock.com  
NAME        STATUS    AGE 
webapp      Active    140m 
webapp2     Error     21m
  2. The status Error indicates that something is wrong.
  3. Use kubectl describe sidecargateways.microgateway.airlock.com to inspect the status.
    4. copy
    kubectl describe sidecargateways.microgateway.airlock.com webapp2

    The Status.Conditions.Message field contains the reason for the issue and says, that already another SidecarGateway is configuring the same Pod.

  4. Adjust the existing SidecarGateway CustomResources which point to the same Pod.
  5. The status of the SidecarGateway CRs has changed to Active.
