The container platform must restrict individuals' ability to launch organizationally defined denial-of-service (DoS) attacks against other information systems.

The container platform will offer services to users and these services share resources available on the hosting system. To share the resources in a manner that does not exhaust or over utilize resources, it is necessary for the container platform to have mechanisms that allow developers to size there containers to provide minimum and maximum amounts. If there is no mechanism to specify limits, container services can cause DoS by over utilization.
