to be used by hostPath volumes. An empty list means there is no restriction on
host paths used. This is defined as a list of objects with a single `pathPrefix`
field, which allows hostPath volumes to mount a path that begins with an
allowed prefix. For example:
allowed prefix, and a `readOnly` field indicating it must be mounted read-only.
For example:

```yaml
allowedHostPaths:
# This allows "/foo", "/foo/", "/foo/bar" etc., but
# disallows "/fool", "/etc/foo" etc.
# "/foo/../" is never valid.
- pathPrefix: "/foo"
readOnly: true # only allow read-only mounts

Writeable hostPath directory volumes allow containers to write
to the filesystem in ways that let them traverse the host filesystem outside the `pathPrefix`.
`readOnly: true`, available in Kubernetes 1.11+, must be used on **all** `allowedHostPaths`
to effectively limit access to the specified `pathPrefix`.

**ReadOnlyRootFilesystem** - Requires that containers must run with a read-only
root filesystem (i.e. no writable layer).
