Intercepts

When intercepting a service, the Telepresence Traffic Manager ensures that a Traffic Agent has been injected into the intercepted workload. The injection is triggered by a Kubernetes Mutating Webhook and will only happen once. The Traffic Agent is responsible for redirecting intercepted traffic to the developer's workstation.

The intercept will intercept alltcp and/or udp traffic to the intercepted service and send all of that traffic down to the developer's workstation. This means that an intercept will affect all users of the intercepted service.

Supported workloads

Kubernetes has various workloads. Currently, Telepresence supports intercepting (installing a traffic-agent on) Deployments, ReplicaSets, and StatefulSets.

note

While many of our examples use Deployments, they would also work on ReplicaSets and StatefulSets
