Creating a Data Cataloging application for metadata-based policies

Provides information about how to create Data Cataloging application for metadata-based policies.

By default, a Data Cataloging application creates a privileged container prepared to process a policy that requires both metadata and content inspection, which oftentimes mounts a data source to fetch the required files. To modify this behavior and create non-root applications for metadata-only policies, we can add the non-root annotation to the resource.
