I thought secrets were essential for pods? Why can't we use them?

Wait, can we really block all other volume types? Seems extreme.

I recall testing the configuration by trying to mount a secret, but I’m not sure if the pod manifest needs to be structured a certain way for that to work.

I’m a little confused about the annotations in the PSP. Do we need to include both seccomp and apparmor settings, or can we skip one?

I practiced a similar question where we had to create a ServiceAccount and bind it to a role, so I feel confident about that part, but the specifics of the policy are a bit fuzzy.

I think I remember that we need to define the PodSecurityPolicy with the right volume types, but I'm not entirely sure how to restrict it just to persistentvolumeclaim.

The hint at the end is a good way to verify the configuration is working as expected. I'll make sure to try that out once I've set everything up.

Okay, I think I got this. First, create the PodSecurityPolicy to only allow the persistentvolumeclaim volume type. Then, create the ClusterRole and ClusterRoleBinding to associate it with the ServiceAccount. Should be able to test it by trying to mount a Secret volume.

Hmm, not sure about the details of the Pod Security Policy and how to restrict the volume types. Might need to review the documentation carefully.

I bet the secret volume type will still try to sneak in, like a secret agent in a spy movie. Gotta watch out for that!

Wait, so I have to create a whole new ServiceAccount, ClusterRole, and ClusterRoleBinding just to restrict the volume type? Seems a bit overkill, but I'll give it a shot.

Hold on, does this mean I can't use any other volume types besides persistentVolumeClaim? That could be tricky for some of my applications.

Make sure to check the logs for any errors when trying to mount a Secret. This restriction may require some adjustments in your application setup.

You can try to mount a Secret in the pod manifest to test if the configuration is working. It should fail since only persistentVolumeClaim is allowed.

Yes, that's correct. The PodSecurityPolicy you created only allows the use of persistentVolumeClaim as the volume type in the restricted namespace.
