Enforce Pod Security Standards by Configuring the Built-in Admission Controller
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
Following an alpha release in Kubernetes v1.22, Pod Security Admission became available by default in Kubernetes v1.23, as a beta. From version 1.25 onwards, Pod Security Admission is generally available.
To check the version, enter kubectl version.
If you are not running Kubernetes 1.32, you can switch to viewing this page in the documentation for the Kubernetes version that you are running.
Configure the Admission Controller
Note:
pod-security.admission.config.k8s.io/v1 configuration requires v1.25+.
For v1.23 and v1.24, use v1beta1.
For v1.22, use v1alpha1.apiVersion: apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1
