+The `rule` under `x-kubernetes-validations` represents the expression which will be evaluated by CEL.
+
+The `message` represents the message displayed when validation fails. If message is unset, the above response would be:
+```

+
+Validation rules are compiled when CRDs are created/updated.
+The request of CRDs create/update will fail if compilation of validation rules fail.
+Compilation process includes type checking as well.
+
+The compilation failure:
+- `no_matching_overload`: this function has no overload for the types of the arguments.
+
+ e.g. Rule like `self == true` against a field of integer type will get error:
+ ```
+ Invalid value: apiextensions.ValidationRule{Rule:"self == true", Message:""}: compilation failed: ERROR: \:1:6: found no matching overload for '_==_' applied to '(int, bool)'
+ ```
+
+- `no_such_field`: does not contain the desired field.
+
+ e.g. Rule like `self.nonExistingField > 0` against a non-existing field will return the error:
+ ```
+ Invalid value: apiextensions.ValidationRule{Rule:"self.nonExistingField > 0", Message:""}: compilation failed: ERROR: \:1:5: undefined field 'nonExistingField'
+ ```
+
+- `invalid argument`: invalid argument to macros.
+
+ e.g. Rule like `has(self)` will return error:
+ ```
+ Invalid value: apiextensions.ValidationRule{Rule:"has(self)", Message:""}: compilation failed: ERROR: :1:4: invalid argument to has() macro
+ ```
+
+
+Validation Rules Examples:
+
+| Rule | Purpose |
+| ---------------- | ------------ |
+| `self.minReplicas <= self.replicas && self.replicas <= self.maxReplicas` | Validate that the three fields defining replicas are ordered appropriately |
+| `'Available' in self.stateCounts` | Validate that an entry with the 'Available' key exists in a map |
+| `(size(self.list1) == 0) != (size(self.list2) == 0)` | Validate that one of two lists is non-empty, but not both |
+| !('MY_KEY' in self.map1) || self['MY_KEY'].matches('^[a-zA-Z]*$') | Validate the value of a map for a specific key, if it is in the map |
+| `self.envars.filter(e, e.name = 'MY_ENV').all(e, e.value.matches('^[a-zA-Z]*$')` | Validate the 'value' field of a listMap entry where key field 'name' is 'MY_ENV' |
+| `has(self.expired) && self.created + self.ttl < self.expired` | Validate that 'expired' date is after a 'create' date plus a 'ttl' duration |
+| `self.health.startsWith('ok')` | Validate a 'health' string field has the prefix 'ok' |
+| `self.widgets.exists(w, w.key == 'x' && w.foo < 10)` | Validate that the 'foo' property of a listMap item with a key 'x' is less than 10 |
+| `type(self) == string ? self == '100%' : self == 1000` | Validate an int-or-string field for both the the int and string cases |
+| `self.metadata.name.startsWith(self.prefix)` | Validate that an object's name has the prefix of another field value |
+| `self.set1.all(e, !(e in self.set2))` | Validate that two listSets are disjoint |
+| `size(self.names) == size(self.details) && self.names.all(n, n in self.details)` | Validate the 'details' map is keyed by the items in the 'names' listSet |

+- If the Rule is scoped to the root of a resource, it may make field selection into any fields
+ declared in the OpenAPIv3 schema of the CRD as well as `apiVersion`, `kind`, `metadata.name` and
+ `metadata.generateName`. This includes selection of fields in both the `spec` and `status` in the
+ same expression:
+ ```yaml
+ ...
+ openAPIV3Schema:
+ type: object
+ x-kubernetes-validation-rules:
+ - rule: "self.status.availableReplicas >= self.spec.minReplicas"
+ properties:
+ spec:
+ type: object
+ properties:
+ minReplicas:
+ type: integer
+ ...
+ status:
+ type: object
+ properties:
+ availableReplicas:
+ type: integer
+ ```
+
+- If the Rule is scoped to an object with properties, the accessible properties of the object are field selectable
+ via `self.field` and field presence can be checked via `has(self.field)`. Null valued fields are treated as
+ absent fields in CEL expressions.
+
+ ```yaml
+ ...
+ openAPIV3Schema:
+ type: object
+ properties:
+ spec:
+ type: object
+ x-kubernetes-validation-rules:
+ - rule: "has(self.foo)"
+ properties:
+ ...
+ foo:
+ type: integer
+ ```
+
+- If the Rule is scoped to an object with additionalProperties (i.e. a map) the value of the map
+ are accessible via `self[mapKey]`, map containment can be checked via `mapKey in self` and all entries of the map
+ are accessible via CEL macros and functions such as `self.all(...)`.
+ ```yaml
+ ...
+ openAPIV3Schema:
+ type: object
+ properties:
+ spec:
+ type: object
+ x-kubernetes-validation-rules:
+ - rule: "self['xyz'].foo > 0"
+ additionalProperties:
+ ...
+ type: object
+ properties:
+ foo:
+ type: integer
+ ```
+
+- If the Rule is scoped to an array, the elements of the array are accessible via `self[i]` and also by macros and
+ functions.
+ ```yaml
+ ...
+ openAPIV3Schema:
+ type: object
+ properties:
+ ...
+ foo:
+ type: array
+ x-kubernetes-validation-rules:
+ - rule: "size(self) == 1"
+ items:
+ type: string
+ ```
+
+- If the Rule is scoped to a scalar, `self` is bound to the scalar value.
+ ```yaml
+ ...
+ openAPIV3Schema:
+ type: object
+ properties:
+ spec:
+ type: object
+ properties:
+ ...
+ foo:
+ type: integer
+ x-kubernetes-validation-rules:
+ - rule: "self > 0"
+ ```
+Examples:
+
+|type of the field rule scoped to | Rule example |
+| -----------------------| -----------------------|
+| root object | `self.status.actual <= self.spec.maxDesired`|
+| map of objects | `self.components['Widget'].priority < 10`|
+| list of integers | `self.values.all(value, value >= 0 && value < 100)`|
+| string | `self.startsWith('kube')`|
+
+
+The `apiVersion`, `kind`, `metadata.name` and `metadata.generateName` are always accessible from the root of the
+object and from any x-kubernetes-embedded-resource annotated objects. No other metadata properties are accessible.
+
+Unknown data preserved in custom resources via `x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields` is not accessible in CEL
+ expressions. This includes:
+ - Unknown field values that are preserved by object schemas with x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields.
+ - Object properties where the property schema is of an "unknown type". An "unknown type" is recursively defined as:
+ - A schema with no type and x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields set to true
+ - An array where the items schema is of an "unknown type"
+ - An object where the additionalProperties schema is of an "unknown type"
+
+
+Only property names of the form `[a-zA-Z_.-/][a-zA-Z0-9_.-/]*` are accessible.
+Accessible property names are escaped according to the following rules when accessed in the expression:
+
+| escape sequence | property name equivalent |
+| ----------------------- | -----------------------|
+| `__underscores__` | `__` |
+| `__dot__` | `.` |
+|`__dash__` | `-` |
+| `__slash__` | `/` |
+| `__{keyword}__` | [CEL RESERVED keyword](https://github.com/google/cel-spec/blob/v0.6.0/doc/langdef.md#syntax) |
+
+Note: CEL RESERVED keyword needs to match the exact property name to be escaped (e.g. int in the word sprint would not be escaped).
+
+Examples on escaping:
+
+|property name | rule with escaped property name |
+| ----------------| ----------------------- |
+| namespace | `self.__namespace__ > 0` |
+| x-prop | `self.x__dash__prop > 0` |
+| redact__d | `self.redact__underscores__d > 0` |
+| string | `self.startsWith('kube')` |
+
+
+Equality on arrays with `x-kubernetes-list-type` of `set` or `map` ignores element order, i.e. [1, 2] == [2, 1].
+Concatenation on arrays with x-kubernetes-list-type use the semantics of the list type:
+ - `set`: `X + Y` performs a union where the array positions of all elements in `X` are preserved and
+ non-intersecting elements in `Y` are appended, retaining their partial order.
+ - `map`: `X + Y` performs a merge where the array positions of all keys in `X` are preserved but the values
+ are overwritten by values in `Y` when the key sets of `X` and `Y` intersect. Elements in `Y` with
+ non-intersecting keys are appended, retaining their partial order.
+
+
+Here is the declarations type mapping between OpenAPIv3 and CEL type:
+
+| OpenAPIv3 type | CEL type |
+| -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| 'object' with Properties | object / "message type" |
+| 'object' with AdditionalProperties | map |
+| 'object' with x-kubernetes-embedded-type | object / "message type", 'apiVersion', 'kind', 'metadata.name' and 'metadata.generateName' are implicitly included in schema |
+| 'object' with x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields | object / "message type", unknown fields are NOT accessible in CEL expression |
+| x-kubernetes-int-or-string | dynamic object that is either an int or a string, `type(value)` can be used to check the type |
+| 'array | list |
+| 'array' with x-kubernetes-list-type=map | list with map based Equality & unique key guarantees |
+| 'array' with x-kubernetes-list-type=set | list with set based Equality & unique entry guarantees |
+| 'boolean' | boolean |
+| 'number' (all formats) | double |
+| 'integer' (all formats) | int (64) |
+| 'null' | null_type |
