As a security-conscious server administrator, you are configuring SELinux on a server with very limited services and want to ensure that only essential security policies are applied to maintain system performance. Which SELinux policy type is specifically designed for such a minimalistic approach?
The 'Minimum' policy type is the correct answer because it is explicitly designed for environments that run a limited number of services and where administrators want to minimize the number of services and processes under SELinux management to reduce complexity and performance impact. While the 'Targeted' policy type is also a commonly used SELinux policy that focuses on confining specific services, it is not as minimal as the 'Minimum' policy type. The 'Strict' policy type enforces SELinux security controls across all processes, which is not suitable for a minimal approach.
