Failed to create resource: Internal error occurred: failed calling webhook

I am upgrading my linkerd instances in GKE and the viz and multicluster extensions fail with this error. Since I am using helm for deployment, the overall deployment fails and rolls back with the following error. From what I can tell this is some sort of communication error during a validation step.

How do I troubleshoot this?

Error: failed to create resource: Internal error occurred: failed calling webhook “linkerd-policy-validator.linkerd.io”: failed to call webhook: Post “https://linkerd-policy-validator.linkerd.svc:443/?timeout=10s”: context deadline exceeded

Sounds like the issue that just got fixed here. This will be shipped in the edge coming out on Thursday. Give it a try and let us know how it goes!

I ended up just setting the webhookFailurePolicy to “Ignore” instead of Fail to get around this.
