The previously recommended Pod Security Policy is deprecated and replaced by Pod Security Admission, a new feature that allows you to enforce security policies on pods in a Kubernetes cluster. It is recommended to use the baseline level as a minimum security requirement for all pods to ensure a standard level of security across the cluster. However, clusters should strive to apply the restricted level which follows pod hardening best practices.
