The seccompProfile field is a SeccompProfile object consisting of type and localhostProfile. Valid options for type include RuntimeDefault, Unconfined, and Localhost. localhostProfile must only be set if type: Localhost. It indicates the path of the pre-configured profile on the node, relative to the kubelet's configured Seccomp profile location (configured with the --root-dir flag).\n\nHere is an example that sets the Seccomp profile to the node's container runtime default profile\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```yaml\n...\nsecurityContext:\n  seccompProfile:\n    type: RuntimeDefault\n```\n\nHere is an example that sets the Seccomp profile to a pre-configured file at /seccomp/my-profiles/profile-allow.json\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```yaml\n...\nsecurityContext:\n  seccompProfile:\n    type: Localhost\n    localhostProfile: my-profiles/profile-allow.json\n```\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
