 12    policies.kyverno.io/description: >-
 13      A PolicyException grants the applicable resource(s) or subject(s) the ability
 14      to bypass an existing Kyverno policy. Care should be taken to ensure that
 15      the allowed PolicyExceptions are scoped fine enough and according to your
 16      organization's operation. This is a Kyverno policy intended to provide guardrails
 17      for Kyverno PolicyExceptions and contains a number of rules which may help
 18      with these scoping best practices. These rules may be changed/removed depending
 19      on the exception practices to be implemented.
