Abstract

Security and governance in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes

Chapter 1. Security

Manage your security and role-based access control (RBAC) of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes components. Govern your cluster with defined policies and processes to identify and minimize risks. Use policies to define rules and set controls.

Prerequisite: You must configure authentication service requirements for Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes to onboard workloads to Identity and Access Management (IAM). For more information see, Understanding authentication in OpenShift Container Platform documentation.

Review the following topics to learn more about securing your cluster:

1.1. Role-based access control

Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes supports role-based access control (RBAC). Your role determines the actions that you can perform. RBAC is based on the authorization mechanisms in Kubernetes, similar to OpenShift Container Platform. For more information about RBAC, see the OpenShift RBAC overview in the OpenShift Container Platform documentation.

View the following sections for details of supported RBAC by component:

1.1.1. Overview of roles

Some product resources are cluster-scoped and some are namespace-scoped. View the table list of the following role definitions that are supported in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes:

Table 1.1. Role definition table
RoleDefinition

cluster-admin

A user with cluster-wide binding to the cluster-admin role is an OpenShift Container Platform super user, who has all access.

open-cluster-management:cluster-manager-admin

A user with cluster-wide binding to the cluster-manager-admin role is a Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes super user, who has all access.

open-cluster-management:managed-cluster-x (admin)

A user with cluster binding to the managed-cluster-x role, has administrator access to managedcluster “X” resource.

open-cluster-management:managed-cluster-x (viewer)

A user with cluster-wide binding to the managed-cluster-x role, has view access to managedcluster “X” resource.

open-cluster-management:subscription-admin

A user with the subscription-admin role can create Git subscriptions that deploy resources to multiple namespaces. The resources are specified in Kubernetes resource YAMLs in the subscribed Git repository. Note: When an non-subscription-admin user creates a subscription, all resources are deployed into the subscription namespace regardless of specified namespaces in the resources. For more information, see the Application lifecycle RBAC section.

admin, edit, view

Admin, edit, and view are OpenShift Container Platform default roles. A user with a namespace-scoped binding to these roles has access to open-cluster-management resources in a specific namespace, while cluster-wide binding to the same roles gives access to all of the open-cluster-management resources cluster-wide.

Important:

  • Any user can create projects from OpenShift Container Platform, which gives administrator role permissions for the namespace.
  • If a user does not have role access to a cluster, the cluster name is not visible. The cluster name is displayed with the following symbol: -.

1.1.2. RBAC implementation

RBAC is validated at the API level. When an user attempts an action from the console, the API might be allowed or rejected based on access role permissions. View the following sections for more information on RBAC for specific lifecycles in the product.

1.1.2.1. Cluster lifecycle RBAC

To perform cluster lifecycle operations, users must have access to the managedcluster namespace and custom resource. A user with cluster-wide binding to admin or view roles, has admin or view access to all management clusters and namespaces.

View the following examples:

  • To view managedcluster x cluster information, the following roles are required:

    • A cluster-wide binding to the view role for open-cluster-management.
    • A namespace binding to the view role for namespace "X".
  • To perform an upgrade to managedcluster x, the following roles are required:

    • A cluster-wide binding to the admin role for open-cluster-management.
    • A namespace binding to the admin role for namespace "X".

1.1.2.2. Application lifecycle RBAC

When you create an application, the subscription namespace is created and the configuration map is created in the subscription namespace. When you want to apply a subscription, you must be a subscription administrator. For more information on managing applications, see Creating and managing subscriptions.

To perform Application lifecycle tasks, users with the admin role must have access to the namespace where the application is created and the managedcluster namespace. For example, the required access to create applications in namespace "N" is a namespace binding to the admin role for namespace "N".

1.1.2.3. Governance lifecycle RBAC

To perform Governance lifecycle operations, users must have access to the namespace where a policy is created, and access to the managedcluster namespace. A user with cluster-wide binding to admin or view access, also have write and read access to all policies and all management clusters on the hub cluster.

View the following examples:

  • To view policies in namespace "N" the following role is required:

    • A namespace binding to the view role for namespace "X".
  • To create a policy in namespace "N" and apply it on managedcluster x, the following roles are required:

    • A namespace binding to the admin role for namespace "N".
    • A namespace binding to the admin role for namespace "X".

1.2. Certificates

Various certificates are created and used throughout Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes.

You can bring your own certificates. You must create a Kubernetes TLS Secret for your certificate. After you create your certificates, you can replace certain certificates that are created by the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes installer.

Required access: Cluster administrator or team administrator.

Note: Replacing certificates is supported only on native Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes installations.

All certificates required by services that run on Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes are created during the installation of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes. Certificates are created and managed by the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes Certificate manager (cert-manager) service.

See the following topics to replace certificates:

1.2.1. Certificates

The Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes Root CA Certificate is stored within the Kubernetes Secret multicloud-ca-cert in the hub cluster namespace. The certificate can be imported into your client truststores to access Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes Platform APIs.

1.2.1.1. Created and managed by Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes Certificate manager (cert-manager)

The OpenShift Container Platform certificate is not included in the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes management ingress. For more information, see the Security known issues. Use the certificate policy controller to create and manage certificate policies on managed clusters. See Policy controllers to learn more about controllers. Return to the Security page for more information.

1.2.2. Replacing the root CA certificate

You can replace the root CA certificate.

1.2.2.1. Prerequisites for root CA certificate

Verify that your Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes cluster is running.

Back up the existing Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes certificate resource by running the following command:

oc get cert multicloud-ca-cert -n open-cluster-management -o yaml > multicloud-ca-cert-backup.yaml
1.2.2.2. Creating the root CA certificate with OpenSSL

Complete the following steps to create a root CA certificate with OpenSSL:

  1. Generate your certificate authority (CA) RSA private key by running the following command:

    openssl genrsa -out ca.key 4096
  2. Generate a self-signed CA certificate by using your CA key. Run the following command:

    openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key ca.key -days 400 -out ca.crt -config req.cnf

    Your req.cnf file might resemble the following file:

    [ req ]               # Main settings
    default_bits = 4096       # Default key size in bits.
    prompt = no               # Disables prompting for certificate values so the configuration file values are used.
    default_md = sha256       # Specifies the digest algorithm.
    distinguished_name = dn   # Specifies the section that includes the distinguished name information.
    x509_extensions = v3_ca   # The extentions to add to the self signed cert
    
    [ dn ]               # Distinguished name settings
    C = US                    # Country
    ST = North Carolina             # State or province
    L = Raleigh                # Locality
    O = Red Hat Open Shift     # Organization
    OU = Red Hat Advanced Container Management        # Organizational unit
    CN = www.redhat.com  # Common name.
    
    [ v3_ca ]          # x509v3 extensions
    basicConstraints=critical,CA:TRUE # Indicates whether the certificate is a CA certificate during the certificate chain verification process.
1.2.2.3. Replacing root CA certificates
  1. Create a new secret with the CA certificate by running the following command:

    kubectl -n open-cluster-management create secret tls byo-ca-cert --cert ./ca.crt --key ./ca.key
  2. Edit the CA issuer to point to the BYO certificate. Run the following commnad:

    oc edit issuer -n open-cluster-management multicloud-ca-issuer
  3. Replace the string mulicloud-ca-cert with byo-ca-cert. Save your deployment and quit the editor.
  4. Edit the management ingress deployment to reference the Bring Your Own (BYO) CA certificate. Run the following command:

    oc edit deployment management-ingress-435ab
  5. Replace the multicloud-ca-cert string with the byo-ca-cert. Save your deployment and quit the editor.
  6. Validate the custom CA is in use by logging in to the console and view the details of the certificate being used.
1.2.2.4. Refreshing cert-manager certificates

After the root CA is replaced, all certificates that are signed by the root CA must be refreshed and the services that use those certificates must be restarted. Cert-manager creates the default Issuer from the root CA so all of the certificates issued by cert-manager, and signed by the default ClusterIssuer must also be refreshed.

Delete the Kubernetes secrets associated with each cert-manager certificate to refresh the certificate and restart the services that use the certificate. Run the following command:

oc delete secret -n open-cluster-management $(oc get cert -n open-cluster-management -o wide | grep multicloud-ca-issuer | awk '{print $3}')
1.2.2.5. Restoring root CA certificates

To restore the root CA certificate, update the CA issuer by completing the following steps:

  1. Edit the CA issuer. Run the following command:

    oc edit issuer -n open-cluster-management multicloud-ca-issuer
  2. Replace the byo-ca-cert string with multicloud-ca-cert in the editor. Save the issuer and quit the editor.
  3. Edit the management ingress depolyment to reference the original CA certificate. Run the following command:

    oc edit deployment management-ingress-435ab
  4. Replace the byo-ca-cert string with the multicloud-ca-cert string. Save your deployment and quit the editor.
  5. Delete the BYO CA certificate. Run the following commnad:

    oc delete secret -n open-cluster-management byo-ca-cert

Refresh all cert-manager certificates that use the CA. For more information, see the forementioned section, Refreshing cert-manager certificates.

See Certificates for more information about certificates that are created and managed by Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management.

1.2.3. Replacing the management ingress certificates

You can replace management ingress certificates. If you replace the default ingress certificate for OpenShift Container Platform, you need to make modifications to the management ingress. For more information see, 500 Internal error during login to the console in the Security known issues.

1.2.3.1. Prerequisites to replace management ingress certificate

Prepare and have your management-ingress certificates and private keys ready. If needed, you can generate a TLS certificate by using OpenSSL. Set the common name parameter,CN, on the certificate to manangement-ingress. If you are generating the certificate, include the following settings:

  • Include the following IP addresses and domain names in your certificate Subject Alternative Name (SAN) list:

    • The service name for the management ingress: management-ingress.
    • Include the route name for Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes. Recieve the route name by running the following command:

      oc get route -n open-cluster-management

      You might receieve the following response:

      multicloud-console.apps.grchub2.dev08.red-chesterfield.com
    • Add the localhost IP address: 127.0.0.1.
    • Add the localhost entry: localhost.
1.2.3.1.1. Example configuration file for generating a certificate

The following example configuration file and OpenSSL commands provide an example for how to generate a TLS certificate by using OpenSSL. View the following csr.cnf configuration file, which defines the configuration settings for generating certificates with OpenSSL.

[ req ]               # Main settings
default_bits = 2048       # Default key size in bits.
prompt = no               # Disables prompting for certificate values so the configuration file values are used.
default_md = sha256       # Specifies the digest algorithm.
req_extensions = req_ext  # Specifies the configuration file section that includes any extensions.
distinguished_name = dn   # Specifies the section that includes the distinguished name information.

[ dn ]               # Distinguished name settings
C = US                    # Country
ST = North Carolina             # State or province
L = Raleigh                # Locality
O = Red Hat Open Shift     # Organization
OU = Red Hat Advanced Container Management        # Organizational unit
CN = management-ingress  # Common name.

[ req_ext ]          # Extensions
subjectAltName = @alt_names # Subject alternative names

[ alt_names ]        # Subject alternative names
DNS.1 = management-ingress
DNS.2 = multicloud-console.apps.grchub2.dev08.red-chesterfield.com
DNS.3 = localhost
DNS.4 = 127.0.0.1

[ v3_ext ]          # x509v3 extensions
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer:always  # Specifies the public key that corresponds to the private key that is used to sign a certificate.
basicConstraints=CA:FALSE                   # Indicates whether the certificate is a CA certificate during the certificate chain verification process.
#keyUsage=keyEncipherment,dataEncipherment   # Defines the purpose of the key that is contained in the certificate.
extendedKeyUsage=serverAuth                 # Defines the purposes for which the public key can be used.
subjectAltName=@alt_names                   # Identifies the subject alternative names for the identify that is bound to the public key by the CA.
Note

Be sure to update the SAN labeled, DNS.2 with the correct hostname for your management ingress.

1.2.3.1.2. OpenSSL commands for generating a certificate

The following OpenSSL commands are used with the preceding configuration file to generate the required TLS certificate.

  1. Generate your certificate authority (CA) RSA private key:

    openssl genrsa -out ca.key 4096
  2. Generate a self-signed CA certificate by using your CA key:

    openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key ca.key -subj "/C=US/ST=North Carolina/L=Raleigh/O=Red Hat OpenShift" -days 400 -out ca.crt
  3. Generate the RSA private key for your certificate:

    openssl genrsa -out ingress.key 4096
  4. Generate the Certificate Signing request (CSR) by using the private key:

    openssl req -new -key ingress.key -out ingress.csr -config csr.cnf
  5. Generate a signed certificate by using your CA certificate and key and CSR:

    openssl x509 -req -in ingress.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out ingress.crt -sha256 -days 300 -extensions v3_ext -extfile csr.cnf
  6. Examine the certificate contents:

    openssl x509  -noout -text -in ./ingress.crt
1.2.3.2. Replace the Bring Your Own (BYO) ingress certificate

Complete the following steps to replace your BYO ingress certificate:

  1. Create the byo-ingress-tls secret by using your certificate and private key. Run the following command:

    kubectl -n open-cluster-management create secret tls byo-ingress-tls-secret --cert ./ingress.crt --key ./ingress.key
  2. Verify that the secret is created in the correct namespace.

    kubectl get secret -n open-cluster-management | grep byo-ingress | grep tls
  3. Create a secret containing the CA certificate by running the following command:

    kubectl -n open-cluster-management create secret tls byo-ca-cert --cert ./ca.crt --key ./ca.key
  4. Edit the management ingress deployment. Get the name of the deployment. Run the following commands:

    export MANAGEMENT_INGRESS=`oc get deployment -o custom-columns=:.metadata.name | grep management-ingress`
    
    oc edit deployment $MANAGEMENT_INGRESS -n open-cluster-management
    • Replace the multicloud-ca-cert string with byo-ca-cert.
    • Replace the $MANAGEMENT_INGRESS-tls-secret string with byo-ingress-tls-secret.
    • Save your deployment and close the editor. The management ingress automatically restarts.
  5. After the management ingress pod has restarted, navigate to the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes console from your browser. Verify that the current certificate is your certificate, and that all console access and login functionality remain the same.
1.2.3.3. Restore the default self-signed certificate for management ingress
  1. Edit the management ingress deployment. Replace the string multicloud-ca-cert with byo-ca-cert. Get the name of the deployment. Run the following commands:

    export MANAGEMENT_INGRESS=`oc get deployment -o custom-columns=:.metadata.name | grep management-ingress`
    
    oc edit deployment $MANAGEMENT_INGRESS -n open-cluster-management
    1. Replace the byo-ca-cert string with multicloud-ca-cert.
    2. Replace the byo-ingress-tls-secret string with the $MANAGEMENT_INGRESS-tls-secret.
    3. Save your deployment and close the editor. The management ingress automatically restarts.
  2. After all pods are restarted, navigate to the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes console from your browser. Verify that the current certificate is your certificate, and that all console access and login functionality remain the same.
  3. Delete the Bring Your Own (BYO) ingress secret and ingress CA certificate by running the following commands:

    oc delete secret -n open-cluster-management byo-ingress-tls-secret
    oc delete secret -n open-cluster-management byo-ca-cert

See Certificates for more information about certificates that are created and managed by Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management. Return to the Security page for more information on securing your cluster.

Chapter 2. Governance and risk

Enterprises must meet internal standards for software engineering, secure engineering, resiliency, security, and regulatory compliance for workloads hosted on private, multi and hybrid clouds. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes governance provides an extensible policy framework for enterprises to introduce their own security policies.

2.1. Governance architecture

Enhance the security for your cluster with the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes governance lifecycle. The product governance lifecycle is based on defined policies, processes, and procedures to manage security and compliance from a central interface page. View the following diagram of the governance architecture:

Governance architecture diagram

The governance architecture is composed of the following components:

  • Governance and risk dashboard: Provides a summary of your cloud governance and risk details, which include policy and cluster violations.
  • Policy-based governance framework controllers: Support policy creation and deployment to various managed clusters based on attributes associated with clusters, such as a geographical region. See the policy-collection repository to view examples of the predefined policies, and instructions on deploying policies to your cluster. You can also contribute custom policy controllers and policies.
  • Policy controller: Evaluates one or more policies on the managed cluster against your specified control, and generates Kubernetes events for violations. Violations are propagated to the hub cluster. Policy controllers that are included in your installation are the following: Kubernetes configuration, Certificate, and IAM. You can also create a custom policy controller.

You can customize your Summary view by filtering the violations by categories or standards. Collapse the summary to see less information. You can also search for policies.

Note:

  • When a policy is propagated to a managed cluster, the replicated policy is named as namespaceName.policyName. When you create a policy, make sure that the length of the namespaceName.policyName is less than 63 characters due to the Kubernetes limit for object names.
  • When you search for a policy in the hub cluster, you might also receive the name of the replicated policy on your managed cluster. For example, if you search for policy-dhaz-cert, the following policy name from the hub cluster might appear: default.policy-dhaz-cert.

You can view a table list of violations. The following details are provided in the table: description, resources, severity, cluster, standards, controls, categories, and update time. You can filter the violation table view by policies or cluster violations.

Learn about the structure of an Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes policy, and how to use the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes Governance and risk dashboard.

2.2. Policy overview

Use the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes security policy framework to create custom policy controllers and other policies. Kubernetes CustomResourceDefinition (CRD) instance are used to create policies. For more information about CRDs, see Extend the Kubernetes API with CustomResourceDefinitions.

Each Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes policy can have at least one or more templates. For more details about the policy elements, view the following Policy YAML table section on this page.

The policy requires a PlacementRule that defines the clusters that the policy document is applied to, and a PlacementBinding that binds the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes policy to the placement rule.

Important:

  • You must create a placementRule to apply your policies to the managed cluster, and bind the placementRule with a PlacementBinding.
  • You can create a policy in any namespace on the hub cluster except the cluster namespace. If you create a policy in the cluster namespace, it is deleted by Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes.
  • Each client and provider is responsible for ensuring that their managed cloud environment meets internal enterprise security standards for software engineering, secure engineering, resiliency, security, and regulatory compliance for workloads hosted on Kubernetes clusters. Use the governance and security capability to gain visibility and remediate configurations to meet standards.

2.2.1. Policy YAML structure

When you create a policy, you must include required parameter fields and values. Depending on your policy controller, you might need to include other optional fields and values. View the following YAML structure for explained parameter fields:

See Managing security policies to create and update a policy. You can also enable and update Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management policy controllers to validate the compliance of your policies. See Policy controllers. See Governance and risk for more policy topics.

2.3. Policy controllers

Policy controllers monitor and report whether your cluster is compliant with a policy. Use the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes policy framework by using the out of the box policy templates to apply predefined policy controllers, and policies. The policy controllers are Kubernetes CustomResourceDefinition (CRD) instance. For more information about CRDs, see Extend the Kubernetes API with CustomResourceDefinitions. Policy controllers remediate policy violations to make the cluster status be compliant.

You can create custom policies and policy controllers with the product policy framework. See Creating a custom policy controller for more information.

Important: Only the configuration policy controller supports the enforce feature. You must manually remediate policies, where the policy controller does not support the enforce feature.

View the following topics to learn more about the following Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes policy controllers:

Refer to Governance and risk for more topics about managing your policies.

2.3.1. Kubernetes configuration policy controller

Configuration policy controller can be used to configure any Kubernetes resource and apply security policies across your clusters.

The configuration policy controller communicates with the local Kubernetes API server to get the list of your configurations that are in your cluster. For more information about CRDs, see Extend the Kubernetes API with CustomResourceDefinitions.

The configuration policy controller is created on the hub cluster during installation. Configuration policy controller supports the enforce feature and monitors the compliance of the following policies:

When the remediationAction for the configuration policy is set to enforce, the controller creates a replicate policy on the target managed clusters.

Learn about how policies are applied on your hub cluster. See Policy samples for more details. Learn how to create and customize policies, Manage security policies.

See Policy controllers for more information about controllers.

2.3.2. Certificate policy controller

Certificate policy controller can be used to detect certificates that are close to expiring. Configure and customize the certificate policy controller by updating the minimum duration parameter in your controller policy. When a certificate expires in less than the minimum duration amount of time, the policy becomes noncompliant. The certificate policy controller is created on your hub cluster.

The certificate policy controller communicates with the local Kubernetes API server to get the list of secrets that contain certificates and determine all non-compliant certificates. For more information about CRDs, see Extend the Kubernetes API with CustomResourceDefinitions.

Certificate policy controller does not support the enforce feature.

2.3.4. Creating a custom policy controller

Learn to write, apply, view, and update your custom policy controllers. You can create a YAML file for your policy controller to deploy onto your cluster. View the following sections to create a policy controller:

2.3.4.1. Writing a policy controller

Use the policy controller framework that is in the multicloud-operators-policy-controller repository. Complete the following steps to create a policy controller:

  1. Clone the multicloud-operators-policy-controller repository by running the following command:

    git clone git@github.com:open-cluster-management/multicloud-operators-policy-controller.git
  2. Customize the controller policy by updating the policy schema definition. Your policy might resemble the following content:

    metadata:
      name: samplepolicies.policies.open-cluster-management.io
    spec:
      group: policy.open-cluster-management.io
      names:
        kind: SamplePolicy
        listKind: SamplePolicyList
        plural: samplepolicies
        singular: samplepolicy
  3. Update the policy controller to watch for the SamplePolicy kind. Run the following command:

    for file in $(find . -name "*.go" -type f); do  sed -i "" "s/SamplePolicy/g" $file; done
    for file in $(find . -name "*.go" -type f); do  sed -i "" "s/samplepolicy-controller/samplepolicy-controller/g" $file; done
  4. Recompile and run the policy controller by completing the following steps:

    1. Log in to your cluster.
    2. Select the user icon, then click Configure client.
    3. Copy and paste the configuration information into your command line, and press Enter.
    4. Run the following commands to apply your policy CRD and start the controller:

      export GO111MODULE=on
      
      kubectl apply -f deploy/crds/policy.open-cluster-management.io_samplepolicies_crd.yaml
      
      operator-sdk run --local --verbose

      You might receive the following output that indicates that your controller runs:

      {“level”:”info”,”ts”:1578503280.511274,”logger”:”controller-runtime.manager”,”msg”:”starting metrics server”,”path”:”/metrics”}
      {“level”:”info”,”ts”:1578503281.215883,”logger”:”controller-runtime.controller”,”msg”:”Starting Controller”,”controller”:”samplepolicy-controller”}
      {“level”:”info”,”ts”:1578503281.3203468,”logger”:”controller-runtime.controller”,”msg”:”Starting workers”,”controller”:”samplepolicy-controller”,”worker count”:1}
      Waiting for policies to be available for processing…
    5. Create a policy and verify that the controller retrieves it and applies the policy onto your cluster. Run the following command:

      kubectl apply -f deploy/crds/policy.open-cluster-management.io_samplepolicies_crd.yaml

      When the policy is applied, a message appears to indicate that policy is monitored and detected by your custom controller. The mesasge might resemble the following contents:

    {"level":"info","ts":1578503685.643426,"logger":"controller_samplepolicy","msg":"Reconciling SamplePolicy","Request.Namespace":"default","Request.Name":"example-samplepolicy"}
    {"level":"info","ts":1578503685.855259,"logger":"controller_samplepolicy","msg":"Reconciling SamplePolicy","Request.Namespace":"default","Request.Name":"example-samplepolicy"}
    Available policies in namespaces:
    namespace = kube-public; policy = example-samplepolicy
    namespace = default; policy = example-samplepolicy
    namespace = kube-node-lease; policy = example-samplepolicy
  5. Check the status field for compliance details by running the following command:

    kubectl describe SamplePolicy example-samplepolicy -n default

    Your output might resemble the following contents:

    status:
      compliancyDetails:
        example-samplepolicy:
          cluster-wide:
          - 5 violations detected in namespace `cluster-wide`, there are 0 users violations
            and 5 groups violations
          default:
          - 0 violations detected in namespace `default`, there are 0 users violations
            and 0 groups violations
          kube-node-lease:
          - 0 violations detected in namespace `kube-node-lease`, there are 0 users violations
            and 0 groups violations
          kube-public:
          - 1 violations detected in namespace `kube-public`, there are 0 users violations
            and 1 groups violations
      compliant: NonCompliant
  6. Change the policy rules and policy logic to introduce new rules for your policy controller. Complete the following steps:

    1. Add new fields in your YAML file by updating the SamplePolicySpec. Your specification might resemble the following content:

      spec:
        description: SamplePolicySpec defines the desired state of SamplePolicy
        properties:
          labelSelector:
            additionalProperties:
              type: string
            type: object
          maxClusterRoleBindingGroups:
            type: integer
          maxClusterRoleBindingUsers:
            type: integer
          maxRoleBindingGroupsPerNamespace:
            type: integer
          maxRoleBindingUsersPerNamespace:
            type: integer
    2. Update the SamplePolicySpec structure in the samplepolicy_controller.go with new fields.
    3. Update the PeriodicallyExecSamplePolicies function in the samplepolicy_controller.go file with new logic to run the policy controller. View an example of the PeriodicallyExecSamplePolicies field, see open-cluster-management/multicloud-operators-policy-controller.
    4. Recompile and run the policy controller. See Writing a policy controller

Your policy controller is functional.

2.3.4.2. Deploying your controller to the cluster

Deploy your custom policy controller to your cluster and integrate the policy controller with the Governance and risk dashboard. Complete the following steps:

  1. Build the policy controller image by running the following command:

    operator-sdk build <username>/multicloud-operators-policy-controller:latest
  2. Run the following command to push the image to a repository of your choice. For example, run the following commands to push the image to Docker Hub:

    docker login
    
    docker push <username>/multicloud-operators-policy-controller
  3. Configure kubectl to point to a cluster managed by Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes.
  4. Replace the operator manifest to use the built-in image name and update the namespace to watch for policies. The namespace must be the cluster namespace. Your manifest might resemble the following contents:

    sed -i "" 's|open-cluster-management/multicloud-operators-policy-controller|ycao/multicloud-operators-policy-controller|g' deploy/operator.yaml
    sed -i "" 's|value: default|value: <namespace>|g' deploy/operator.yaml
  5. Update the RBAC role by running the following commands:

    sed -i "" 's|samplepolicies|testpolicies|g' deploy/cluster_role.yaml
    sed -i "" 's|namespace: default|namespace: <namespace>|g' deploy/cluster_role_binding.yaml
  6. Deploy your policy controller to your cluster:

    1. Set up a service account for cluster by runnng the following command:

      kubectl apply -f deploy/service_account.yaml -n <namespace>
    2. Set up RBAC for the operator by running the following commands:

      kubectl apply -f deploy/role.yaml -n <namespace>
      
      kubectl apply -f deploy/role_binding.yaml -n <namespace>
    3. Set up RBAC for your PolicyController. Run the following commands:

      kubectl apply -f deploy/cluster_role.yaml
      kubectl apply -f deploy/cluster_role_binding.yaml
    4. Set up a CustomResourceDefinition (CRD) by running the following command:

      kubectl apply -f deploy/crds/policies.open-cluster-management.io_samplepolicies_crd.yaml
    5. Deploy the multicloud-operator-policy-controller by running the following command:

      kubectl apply -f deploy/operator.yaml -n <namespace>
    6. Verify that the controller is functional by running the following command:

      kubectl get pod -n <namespace>
  7. You must integrate your policy controller by creating a policy-template for the controller to monitor. For more information, see Creating a cluster security policy from the console.
2.3.4.2.1. Scaling your controller deployment

Policy controller deployments do not support deletetion or removal. You can scale your deployment to update which pods the deployment is applied to. Complete the following steps:

  1. Log in to your managed cluster.
  2. Navigate to the deployment for your custom policy controller.
  3. Scale the deployment. When you scale your deployment to zero pods, the policy controler deployment is disabled.

For more information on deployments, see OpenShift Container Platform Deployments.

Your policy controller is deployed and integrated on your cluster. View the product policy controllers, see Policy controllers for more information.

2.4. Policy samples

Manage your namespace policy. See Managing namespace policies for more information. See Kubernetes configuration policy controller to learn about other configuration policies.

2.4.3. Image vulnerability policy

Apply the image vulnerability policy to detect if container images have vulnerabilities by leveraging the Container Security Operator. The policy installs the Container Security Operator on your managed cluster if it is not installed.

The image vulnerability policy is checked by the Kubernetes configuration policy controller. For more information about the Security Operator, see the Container Security Operator from the Quay repository.

Note: Image vulnerability policy is not functional during a disconnected installation.

2.5. Manage security policies

Use the Governance and risk dashboard to create, view, and manage your security policies and policy violations. You can create YAML files for your policies from the CLI and console.

From the Policies page, you can customize your Summary view by filtering the violations by categories or standards, collapse the summary to see less information, and you can search for policies. You can also filter the violation table view by policies or cluster violations.

The table of policies list the following details of a policy: Policy name, Namespace, Remediation, Cluster violation, Standards, Categories, and Controls. You can apply, edit, disable, or remove a policy by selecting the Options icon.

When you select a policy in the table list, the following tabs of information are displayed from the console:

  • Details: Select the Details tab to view Policy details, Placement details, and a table list of _Policy templates.
  • Violations: Select the Violations tab to view a table list of violations.
  • YAML tab: Select the YAML tab to view, and or edit your policy with the editor.

Review the following topics to learn more about creating and updating your security policies:

Refer to Governance and risk for more topics.

2.5.1. Managing security policies

Create a security policy to report and validate your cluster compliance based on your specified security standards, categories, and controls. To create a policy for Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes, you must create a YAML file on your managed clusters.

2.5.1.1. Creating a security policy

You can create a security policy from the command line interface (CLI) or from the console. Cluster administrator access is required.

The following objects are required for your Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes policy:

  • PlacementRule: Defines a cluster selector where the policy must be deployed.
  • PlacementBinding: Binds the placement to a PlacementPolicy.

View more descriptions of the policy YAML files in the Policy overview.

2.5.1.1.1. Creating a security policy from the command line interface

Complete the following steps to create a policy from the command line interface (CLI):

  1. Create a policy by running the following command:

    kubectl create -f policy.yaml -n <namespace>
  2. Define the template that the policy uses. Edit your .yaml file by adding a templates field to define a template. Your policy might resemble the following YAML file:

    apiVersion: policy.open-cluster-management.io/v1
    kind: Policy
    metadata:
      name: policy1

            spec:
              remediationAction: "inform"
              object-templates:
                complianceType: "musthave" # at this level, it means the role must exist and must have the following rules
                apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
                kind: Role
                metadata:
                  name: example
                objectDefinition:
                  rules:
                    - complianceType: "musthave" # at this level, it means if the role exists the rule is a musthave
                      apiGroups: ["extensions", "apps"]
                      resources: ["deployments"]
                      verbs: ["get", "list", "watch", "create", "delete","patch"]
  3. Define a PlacementRule. Be sure to change the PlacementRule to specify the clusters where the policies need to be applied, either by clusterNames, or clusterLabels. View Creating and managing placement rules. Your PlacementRule might resemble the following content:

    apiVersion: apps.open-cluster-management.io/v1
    kind: PlacementRule
