| lifecycle-container-shutdown |
lifecycle |
Ensure that the containers lifecycle preStop management feature is configured. The most basic requirement for the lifecycle management of Pods in OpenShift are the ability to start and stop correctly. There are different ways a pod can stop on an OpenShift cluster. One way is that the pod can remain alive but non-functional. Another way is that the pod can crash and become non-functional. When pods are shut down by the platform they are sent a SIGTERM signal which means that the process in the container should start shutting down, closing connections and stopping all activity. If the pod doesn’t shut down within the default 30 seconds then the platform may send a SIGKILL signal which will stop the pod immediately. This method isn’t as clean and the default time between the SIGTERM and SIGKILL messages can be modified based on the requirements of the application. Containers should respond to SIGTERM/SIGKILL with graceful shutdown. |

observability |
Check that all containers are using terminationMessagePolicy: FallbackToLogsOnError. There are different ways a pod can stop on an OpenShift cluster. One way is that the pod can remain alive but non-functional. Another way is that the pod can crash and become non-functional. In the first case, if the administrator has implemented liveness and readiness checks, OpenShift can stop the pod and either restart it on the same node or a different node in the cluster. For the second case, when the application in the pod stops, it should exit with a code and write suitable log entries to help the administrator diagnose what the issue was that caused the problem. |

| lifecycle-liveness-probe |
lifecycle |
Check that all containers under test have liveness probe defined. The most basic requirement for the lifecycle management of Pods in OpenShift are the ability to start and stop correctly. When starting up, health probes like liveness and readiness checks can be put into place to ensure the application is functioning properly. |

| lifecycle-readiness-probe |
lifecycle |
Check that all containers under test have readiness probe defined. There are different ways a pod can stop on on OpenShift cluster. One way is that the pod can remain alive but non-functional. Another way is that the pod can crash and become non-functional. In the first case, if the administrator has implemented liveness and readiness checks, OpenShift can stop the pod and either restart it on the same node or a different node in the cluster. For the second case, when the application in the pod stops, it should exit with a code and write suitable log entries to help the administrator diagnose what the issue was that caused the problem. |

| lifecycle-startup-probe |
lifecycle |
Check that all containers under test have startup probe defined. CNFs shall self-recover from common failures like pod failure, host failure, and network failure. Kubernetes native mechanisms such as health-checks (Liveness, Readiness and Startup Probes) shall be employed at a minimum. |
failed |
| lifecycle-image-pull-policy |
lifecycle |
Ensure that the containers under test are using IfNotPresent as Image Pull Policy. If there is a situation where the container dies and needs to be restarted, the image pull policy becomes important. PullIfNotPresent is recommended so that a loss of image registry access does not prevent the pod from restarting. |
failed |
| lifecycle-container-startup |
lifecycle |
Ensure that the containers lifecycle postStart management feature is configured. A container must receive important events from the platform and conform/react to these events properly. For example, a container should catch SIGTERM or SIGKILL from the platform and shutdown as quickly as possible. Other typically important events from the platform are PostStart to initialize before servicing requests and PreStop to release resources cleanly before shutting down. |
