This section includes everything that is outside of the source code but is still critical to the security of the product that is being created. Because the issues covered by this kingdom are not directly related to source code, we separated it from the rest of the kingdoms.

Kubernetes Misconfiguration: Uncontrolled Kubelet Resource Consumption

Abstract
A configuration allows unlimited resource consumption.
Explanation
Billable computational resources include but are not limited to CPU usage, memory, persistent storage, and network connections. In the absence of resource usage limits, attackers could cause a denial of service that consumes all available resources or incur exorbitant bills.
