VerticalPodAutoscaler (VPA) is useful to automatically adjust the resources assigned to Pods. It requires defining a specific target resource by kind and name. There are no built-in validation checks by the VPA controller to prevent the creation of multiple VPAs which target the same resource. This policy has two rules, the first of which ensures that the only targetRef kinds accepted are one of either Deployment, StatefulSet, ReplicaSet, or DaemonSet. The second prevents the creation of duplicate VPAs by validating that any new VPA targets a unique resource.

This policy performs some best practices validation on Application fields. Path or chart must be specified but never both. And destination.name or destination.server must be specified but never both.
This policy prevents the use of the default project in an Application.
This policy prevents updates to the project field after an Application is created.
