Context
A PodSecurityPolicy shall prevent the creation of privileged Pods in a specific namespace.
Task
Create a new PodSecurityPolicy named prevent-psp-policy,which prevents the creation of privileged Pods.
Create a new ClusterRole named restrict-access-role, which uses the newly created PodSecurityPolicy prevent-psp-policy.
Create a new ServiceAccount named psp-restrict-sa in the existing namespace staging.
Finally, create a new ClusterRoleBinding named restrict-access-bind, which binds the newly created ClusterRole restrict-access-role to the newly created ServiceAccount psp-restrict-sa.
SIMULATION
Context
