Error: ephemeral containers are disabled for this cluster

[y0zg]

Hello,

I haven't found this error in issues, so wonder if this is something cluster specific or I missed any parameter.
Thank you

kubectl-debug pod
Error: ephemeral containers are disabled for this cluster ("the server could not find the requested resource"). See --help for additional information

You have to enable the k8s EphemeralContainers feature gate in your cluster. At the moment this is still alpha and therefore not enabled by default.

https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/feature-gates/

You probably also want to enable Process Namespace Sharing in your pod.

https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/share-process-namespace/

Note however, that all of this has repercussions in your cluster, to things like security, so make sure you understand those tradeoffs.
