Azure Kubernetes Cluster (AKS) Nodes Don't Limit the Maximum Pods to Greater than 50 misconfiguration detected in code

Rule Details

Cortex AppSec Rule ID	APPSEC_AZURE_168
Category - Subcategory	Kubernetes - Resource Management
Provider	AZURE
Severity	LOW
Framework	ARM, Bicep, Terraform, Terraform Plan

Impact

Ensure Azure Kubernetes Cluster (AKS) nodes should use a minimum number of 50 pods.

How to Fix

Resource: azurerm_kubernetes_cluster, azurerm_kubernetes_cluster_node_pool

• Arguments: max_pods [source,go]

---

resource "azurerm_kubernetes_cluster" "example" { name = "example-aks" location = azurerm_resource_group.example.location resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name

default_node_pool { name = "default"

• max_pods = 50 }

tags = { Environment = "dev" } }

OR For separate node pool

resource "azurerm_kubernetes_cluster_node_pool" "example" { name = "example" kubernetes_cluster_id = azurerm_kubernetes_cluster.example.id

• max_pods = 50 }
