1.1.6 Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file ownership is set to root:root

Information

Ensure that the scheduler pod specification file ownership is set to root:root.

Rationale:

The scheduler pod specification file controls various parameters that set the behavior of the kube-scheduler service in the master node. You should set its file ownership to maintain the integrity of the file. The file should be owned by root:root.

Impact:

None

Solution

Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the Control Plane node. For example,

chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml

Default Value:

By default, kube-scheduler.yaml file ownership is set to root:root.
