Which of the following is typically governed by an OpenShift SecurityContextConstraints?

SecurityContextConstraints control how a pod runs securely by constraining the security-related settings applied to pods and containers. They specify who the container processes run as (pod user and group IDs), what privileges and capabilities are allowed, which host paths a pod can mount, and what SELinux context will apply. These constraints enforce least privilege and restrict access to host resources, improving isolation and security. Networks, image pulling, and storage provisioning are governed by different mechanisms: network policy controls pod-to-pod communication rules, image registry permissions deal with pulling images and credentials, and volume provisioning policies are handled by storage-related objects like StorageClasses and CSI drivers.
