### How can I have Pods in the kube-system namespace under VPA control in AKS?

When running a webhook in AKS, it blocks webhook requests for the kube-system namespace in order to protect the system.
See the [AKS FAQ page](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/faq#can-admission-controller-webhooks-impact-kube-system-and-internal-aks-namespaces-) for more info.

The `--webhook-labels` parameter for the VPA admission-controller can be used to bypass this behaviour, if required by the user.

### How can I configure VPA when running in EKS with Cilium?

When running in EKS with Cilium, the EKS API server cannot route traffic to the overlay network. The VPA admission-controller
Pods either need to use host networking or be exposed through a service or ingress.
See the [Cilium Helm installation page](https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/installation/k8s-install-helm/) for more info.
