Description

The container platform will offer services to users and these services share resources available on the hosting system. To share the resources in a manner that does not exhaust or over utilize resources, it is necessary for the container platform to have mechanisms that allow developers to size there containers to provide minimum and maximum amounts. If there is no mechanism to specify limits, container services can cause DoS by over utilization.

Check Text ( C-36065r601756_chk )
Review the container platform implementation and security documentation and components settings to determine if the information system restricts the ability of users or systems to launch organization-defined DoS attacks against other information systems or networks from the container platform. If the container platform is not configured to restrict this ability, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-36033r600875_fix)
Configure the container platform to restrict the ability of users or other systems to launch DoS attacks from the container platform components by setting resource quotas on resources such as memory, storage, and CPU utilization.
