  1. A number of pods have been created in the delta namespace. Using the trivy tool, which has been installed on the controlplane, identify all the pods that have HIGH or CRITICAL level vulnerabilities and delete the corresponding pods.

Note: Do not modify the objects in anyway other than deleting the ones that have high or critical vulnerabilities.
