+>> An optional IAM policy in JSON format (as an escaped string) that applies additional restrictions to this pod identity association beyond the IAM policies attached to the IAM role. This policy is applied as the intersection of the role’s policies and this policy, allowing you to reduce the permissions that applications in the pods can use. Use this policy to enforce least privilege access while still leveraging a shared IAM role across multiple applications.
