Description

Many kubernetes operators add a field called podSpec/podTemplate that allows the user to override pod´s configuration with custom properties.

Examples:

This will be extremely useful, since we could add securityContext, dnsPolicy, dnsConfig, ...

My main case is to add dnsPolicy and dnsConfig, but this would allow the user to provide all these fields. Another solution would be adding specific fields for securityContext, dnsPolicy, dnsConfig... to the CRD.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing CRD definition in the operator repository, examine how other operators (ECK, RabbitMQ, MongoDB) implement pod template overrides, then design a field and implement the reconciliation logic to apply custom pod settings to the AWX StatefulSet.
