+# Sysdig Admission Controller
+Sysdig’s Admission Controller uses the Sysdig Secure Image Scanner to evaluate the scan results and the admission context, providing great flexibility on the admission decision.
 
-Project template for all Iron Bank container repositories.
\ No newline at end of file
+Using native Kubernetes API extensions to perform the image scanning on admission enables major threat prevention with the hardening use case: “Only the images that are explicitly approved will be allowed to run on your cluster.”
+
+The admission decision relies not only on the image name and tag, but also on additional context from the admission review, including the namespace, pod metadata, etc.
+
+## Features
+
+ * Registry and repository whitelist
+ * Global and per-namespace admission configuration
+ * Accept only the images that pass the scan (default)
+ * Directly reject non-whitelisted registries / repos, without scanning
+ * Accept the image even if it doesn’t pass the scan
+ * Do not accept any image that hasn’t been scanned already
+ * Pod mutation: image tag is replaced by digest to prevent TOCTOU issue if the tag is updated between the scan and the pod scheduling.
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Helm 3
+* Kubernetes 1.16 or higher
+
+## Installation
+
+Create a values.yaml overriding the desired values from the [values.yaml file in the repository](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sysdiglabs/charts/master/charts/admission-controller/values.yaml):
+
+```
+$ kubectl create ns sysdig-admission-controller
+$ helm repo add sysdig https://charts.sysdig.com
+$ helm install -n sysdig-admission-controller sysdig-admission-controller -f values.yaml sysdig/admission-controller
+```
+
+### Basic settings
+
+The default settings in *values.yaml* should be right for most cases, but you must provide at minimum:
+
+* **sysdigSecureToken** - The Sysdig Secure Token for your account
+* **sysdigSecureUrl** - if the default SasS URL does not fit your environment (if using the on-prem version of Sysdig Secure
