Security Context

Assume every key below has a prefix of workload.[workload-name].podSpec.containers.[container-name].

Key	Type	Required	Helm Template	Default	Description
securityContext	dict	✅	❌	{{ .Values.securityContext.container }}	Define securityContext for the container
securityContext.runAsUser	int	✅	❌	{{ .Values.securityContext.container.runAsUser }}	Define the runAsUser for the container
securityContext.runAsGroup	int	✅	❌	{{ .Values.securityContext.container.runAsGroup }}	Define the runAsGroup for the container
securityContext.readOnlyRootFilesystem	boolean	✅	❌	{{ .Values.securityContext.container.readOnlyRootFilesystem }}	Define the readOnlyRootFilesystem for the container
securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation	boolean	✅	❌	{{ .Values.securityContext.container.allowPrivilegeEscalation }}	Define the allowPrivilegeEscalation for the container
securityContext.privileged	boolean	✅	❌	{{ .Values.securityContext.container.privileged }}	Define the privileged for the container
securityContext.runAsNonRoot	boolean	✅	❌	{{ .Values.securityContext.container.runAsNonRoot }}	Define the runAsNonRoot for the container
securityContext.capabilities	dict	✅	❌	{{ .Values.securityContext.container.capabilities }}	Define the capabilities for the container
securityContext.capabilities.add	list	✅	❌	{{ .Values.securityContext.container.capabilities.add }}	Define the capabilities.add for the container
securityContext.capabilities.drop	list	✅	❌	{{ .Values.securityContext.container.capabilities.drop }}	Define the capabilities.drop for the container
securityContext.seccompProfile	dict	✅	❌	{{ .Values.securityContext.container.seccompProfile }}	Define the seccompProfile for the container
securityContext.seccompProfile.type	string	✅	❌	{{ .Values.securityContext.container.seccompProfile.type }}	Define the seccompProfile.type for the container (RuntimeDefault, Localhost, Unconfined)
securityContext.seccompProfile.profile	string	✅ (Only when Localhost type )	❌	{{ .Values.securityContext.container.seccompProfile.profile }}	Define the seccompProfile.profile for the container (Only when type is Localhost)

Each value that is not defined in the securityContext under the container level, it will get replaced with the value defined .Values.securityContext.container. If a capability is defined in either add or drop on container level, it will NOT get merged with the value(s) from the .Values.securityContext.container.capabilities.[add/drop]. But it will override them.

Examples:

workload:
  workload-name:
    enabled: true
    primary: true
    podSpec:
      containers:
        container-name:
          enabled: true
          primary: true
          securityContext:
            runAsNonRoot: true
            runAsUser: 568
            runAsGroup: 568
            readOnlyRootFilesystem: true
            allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
            privileged: false
            seccompProfile:
              type: Localhost
              profile: path/to/profile.json
            capabilities:
              add: []
              drop:
                - ALL

Notes:

When setting capabilities for containers, remember to NOT include CAP_ prefix. For example, CAP_NET_ADMIN should be NET_ADMIN.
