Summary

Set readOnlyRootFilesystem: true on the static Machine API operator Deployment container. No generated controller workloads or provider credential handling are changed.

Validation

• Deployment YAML decoded successfully and the operator security context was asserted.
• Semantic comparison found no change beyond the security-context setting; git diff --check passed.
• Lint, CRD synchronization verification, operator build, and race-enabled operator entrypoint tests passed.
• A broader Go suite had one vSphere simulator NotAuthenticated failure; the exact test and affected package subsequently passed with -race. The full-suite failure remains unexplained. Runtime rollout validation remains for CI.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Declare the required security controls explicitly.

This new securityContext sets only readOnlyRootFilesystem. Add runAsNonRoot: true, allowPrivilegeEscalation: false, and capabilities.drop: ["ALL"]. The pod requests the restricted-v2 SCC, but the manifest must still declare these controls.

As per path instructions: “securityContext: runAsNonRoot, readOnlyRootFilesystem, allowPrivilegeEscalation: false” and “Drop ALL capabilities, add only what is required.”
