    policies.kyverno.io/description: |
      This policy automatically sets 'readOnlyRootFilesystem: true' for all containers
      within new Pods, enforcing an immutable root filesystem. This enhances security
      by preventing applications from writing to their root filesystem at runtime,
      making it harder for attackers to persist changes or introduce malware.
