      Seccomp is an alpha feature currently. By default, all alpha features are disabled. So, you
      would need to enable alpha features in the apiserver by passing "--feature-
      gates=AllAlpha=true" argument.
      Edit the $apiserverconf file on the master node and set the KUBE_API_ARGS
      parameter to "--feature-gates=AllAlpha=true"
      KUBE_API_ARGS="--feature-gates=AllAlpha=true"
      Based on your system, restart the kube-apiserver service. For example:
      systemctl restart kube-apiserver.service
      Use annotations to enable the docker/default seccomp profile in your pod definitions. An
      example is as below:
      apiVersion: v1
      kind: Pod
      metadata:
        name: trustworthy-pod
        annotations:
          seccomp.security.alpha.kubernetes.io/pod: docker/default
