Answer
Request pipeline: authentication, authorization, mutating admission, validating admission, schema validation, etcd write, and watch notifications.
Quick Answer
The request flows through: Authentication (verify identity — bearer token, certificate, OIDC), Authorization (RBAC — can this identity do this action on this resource?), Admission Controllers (mutating — modify the object; validating — reject invalid objects), then object validation against the API schema, and finally persistence to etcd.
