Verified steps

  1. Create a `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` manifest with `apiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1` and a `spec.matchConstraints` targeting Deployments
  2. Write CEL expressions in `spec.validations[].expression` such as `object.spec.template.spec.containers.all(c, has(c.resources.limits))` to enforce limits
  3. Set `spec.validations[].message` to a human-readable error returned when the expression evaluates to false
  4. Create a `ValidatingAdmissionPolicyBinding` that binds the policy to a specific namespace or cluster scope
  5. Test with `kubectl apply` of a Deployment missing resource limits and confirm the CEL error message is returned
