Apply Pod Security Standards at the Namespace Level — Verify the Pod Security Standard enforcement

Create a baseline Pod in the example namespace Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell kubectl apply -n example -f https://k8s.io/examples/security/example-baseline-pod.yaml ``` The Pod does start OK; the output includes a warning.

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Create a baseline Pod in the example namespace Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell kubectl apply -n example -f https://k8s.io/examples/security/example-baseline-pod.yaml ``` The Pod does start OK; the output includes a warning. For example Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```text Warning: would violate PodSecurity "restricted:latest": allowPrivilegeEscalation != false (container "nginx" must set securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation=false), unrestricted capabilities (container "nginx" must set securityContext.capabilities.drop=["ALL"]), runAsNonRoot != true (pod or container "nginx" must set securityContext.runAsNonRoot=true), seccompProfile (pod or container "nginx" must set securityContext.seccompProfile.type to "RuntimeDefault" or "Localhost") pod/nginx created ``` Create a baseline Pod in the default namespace Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```shell kubectl apply -n default -f https://k8s.io/examples/security/example-baseline-pod.yaml ``` Output is similar to this Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```text pod/nginx created ``` The Pod Security Standards enforcement and warning settings were applied only to the example namespace. You could create the same Pod in the default namespace with no warnings. Attribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
