This page shows you how to disable Policy Controller. If you want to
uninstall Policy Controller instead of temporarily disabling it, see
Uninstalling Policy Controller.
If Policy Controller is causing issues in your cluster, you can
temporarily disable the webhook:
Replace MEMBERSHIP_NAME with the membership name of
the registered cluster to disable Policy Controller on. You can specify multiple
memberships separated by a comma.
You can then re-enable Policy Controller. This will cause the operator to
regenerate the webhook configuration, which will reconfigure the API server to
use Policy Controller as an admission webhook:
