Description

Timeouts on streaming connections should be enabled. Setting idle timeouts ensures that the node is protected against Denial-of-Service attacks, inactive connections, and running out of ephemeral ports.

Remediation

Choose a remediation method from below. For both steps, a restart of the Kubelet service is required.

Kubelet config file

Add the json below to this file: /etc/kubernetes/kubelet/kubelet-config.json

"streamingConnectionIdleTimeout": "4h0m0s"

Executable arguments
