Creating a Mutating Admission Controller Webhook for Kubernetes

Admission controllers affect what actions we let occur on our Kubernetes clusters, either by validating and approving or denying them, or by changing the actual API request objects itself. To alter these objects, we leverage a MutatingAdmissionsWebhook, which parses and updates the object before validation and deployment. In this lab, we'll write one of these webhooks!
