Application Developers must make sure that initialization happens in init containers.

APP.4.4.A11 Überwachung der Container (S)

Application Developers must ensure that their application has a liveliness and readiness probe, which are configured in the Deployment. This is illustrated by our user demo.

APP.4.4.A12 Absicherung der Infrastruktur-Anwendungen (S)

This requirement essentially states that the Welkin environments are only as secure as the infrastructure around them. Make sure you have a proper IT policy in place. Regularly review the systems where you store backups and configuration of Welkin.

APP.4.4.A20 Verschlüsselte Datenhaltung bei Pods (H)

Welkin recommends disk encryption to be provided at the infrastructure level. If you have this requirement, check for full-disk encryption via the provider audit.
