…ance This change addresses ITHC security recommendations that containers should: - Not run as root user - Not run with GID <= 10000 - Not run with UID <= 10000 Changes: - Dockerfile: Create appuser/appgroup with UID/GID 10001 and set USER 10001 - terraform/application/application.tf: Add run_as_user, run_as_group, and run_as_non_root settings to web_application module - terraform/application/variables.tf: Add run_as_non_root variable with default value of true These changes ensure containers run securely on AKS hosts following best practices. The Terraform configuration will be fully functional once terraform-modules PR #158 is promoted to stable. Testing requirements: - Verify application starts without errors - Confirm no issues with worker processes (if applicable) - Full dev testing required to ensure no runtime permission issues
