--from-file=thanos.yaml=/path/to/thanos.yaml
* Create or edit MultiClusterObservability CR to enable observability (storage class, retention, etc.).

* Deploy prevents or flags deployments that violate policy.
* Save the policy.
* (Optional validation) Trigger a test deployment/image that matches debian:10 to confirm alerts
/enforcement behavior.
Why this matters:
* Enforcing at build+deploy catches risky images earlier and prevents policy violations from reaching runtime.
