Question #: 67
Topic #: 6

You can switch the cluster/configuration context using the following command: [desk@cli] $kubectl config use-context stage Context: A PodSecurityPolicy shall prevent the creation of privileged Pods in a specific namespace. Task: 1. Create a new PodSecurityPolcy named deny-policy, which prevents the creation of privileged Pods. 2. Create a new ClusterRole name deny-access-role, which uses the newly created PodSecurityPolicy deny-policy. 3. Create a new ServiceAccount named psd-denial-sa in the existing namespace development. Finally, create a new ClusterRoleBindind named restrict-access-bind, which binds the newly created ClusterRole deny-access-role to the newly created ServiceAccount psp-denial-sa

Looks good, but I'm not sure if the `resourceNames` field in the `ClusterRole` is necessary. I thought the `use` verb alone would be enough to bind the `PodSecurityPolicy` to the `ClusterRole`.

I see, thanks for clarifying that. It's always good to double-check the documentation to be sure.

The `resourceNames` field is used to specify which `PodSecurityPolicy` the `ClusterRole` should use.
