Enforce Pod Security Standards by Configuring the Built-in Admission Controller

As of v1.22, Kubernetes provides a built-in admission controller to enforce the Pod Security Standards. You can configure this admission controller to set cluster-wide defaults and exemptions.

Before you begin

Your Kubernetes server must be at or later than version v1.22. To check the version, enter kubectl version.

Configure the Admission Controller

    # Defaults applied when a mode label is not set.
    #
    # Level label values must be one of:
    # - "privileged" (default)
    # - "baseline"
    # - "restricted"
    #
    # Version label values must be one of:
    # - "latest" (default) 
    # - specific version like "v1.23"
    defaults:
