This guide provides practical, developer-focused recommendations for hardening Kubernetes workload manifests. It explains how to use `securityContext` and related manifest settings (e.g., `runAsUser`/`runAsGroup`, `privileged=false`, capability drops, `readOnlyRootFilesystem`, `AllowPrivilegeEscalation`, `seccomp`, resource requests/limits, immutable image tags, AppArmor and SELinux) and why applying these controls early in development reduces attack surface and operational risk for containers.
