Could you build this?
Yes This is a standard Kubernetes mutating admission webhook server that inspects incoming Pod specs, injects a logging sidecar or log-filtering daemon configuration using regex/NER libraries, and returns an admission patch.
Discussion
3 comments analyzed.
Concerns raised: Manual sidecar injection to large clusters is complicated, Sidecar crashes when main container finishes, Permission denied errors with root containers and nonroot sidecars
Feature requests: Implement with transformer models, Support additional PII detection methods beyond entropy/Luhn/regex
