Kata Containers gives users freedom to customize at per-pod level, by setting
a wide range of Kata specific annotations in the pod specification.
Some annotations may be [restricted](#restricted-annotations) by the
configuration file for security reasons, notably annotations that could lead the
runtime to execute programs on the host. Such annotations are marked with _(R)_ in
the tables below.

# Restricted annotations
Some annotations are _restricted_, meaning that the configuration file specifies
the acceptable values. Currently, only hypervisor annotations are restricted,
for security reason, with the intent to control which binaries the Kata
Containers runtime will launch on your behalf.
The configuration file validates the annotation _name_ as well as the annotation
_value_.
The acceptable annotation names are defined by the `enable_annotations` entry in
the configuration file.
For restricted annotations, an additional configuration entry provides a list of
acceptable values. Since most restricted annotations are intended to control
which binaries the runtime can execute, the valid value is generally provided by
a shell pattern, as defined by `glob(3)`. The table below provides the name of
the configuration entry:
| Key | Config file entry | Comments |
|-------| ----- | ----- |
| `ctlpath` | `valid_ctlpaths` | Valid paths for `acrnctl` binary |
| `file_mem_backend` | `valid_file_mem_backends` | Valid locations for the file-based memory backend root directory |
| `jailer_path` | `valid_jailer_paths`| Valid paths for the jailer constraining the container VM (Firecracker) |
| `path` | `valid_hypervisor_paths` | Valid hypervisors to run the container VM |
| `vhost_user_store_path` | `valid_vhost_user_store_paths` | Valid paths for vhost-user related files|
