MediumLevel 1Manual reviewopenshift

Description

Ensure that the Container Network Interface files have ownership set to openvswitch:openvswitch. The benchmark marks this recommendation Manual.

How it is checked

Audit method: Manual review

This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.

The Cluster Network Operator (CNO) deploys and manages the cluster network components on an OpenShift Container Platform cluster. This includes the Container Network Interface (CNI) default network provider plug-in selected for the cluster during installation. OpenShift Container Platform uses the Multus CNI plug-in to allow chaining of CNI plug-ins. The default Pod network must be configured during cluster installation. By default, the CNO deploys the OpenShift SDN as the default Pod network.

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Execute the chown command to remediate ownership and set it file ownership to openvswitch:openvswitch.
