Chapter 8. Deploying Confidential Containers on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE

You can deploy Confidential Containers on IBM Z® and IBM® LinuxONE after you deploy OpenShift sandboxed containers.

Important

Confidential Containers on IBM Z® and IBM® LinuxONE is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.

Note

IBM® Hyper Protect Confidential Container (HPCC) for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is now production-ready. HPCC enables Confidential Computing technology at the enterprise scale by providing a multiparty Hyper Protect Contract, deployment attestation, and validation of container runtime and OCI image integrity.

    Example output

    kbs-service-trustee-operator-system.apps.memvjias.eastus.aroapp.io
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

8.4. About initdata
Copiar enlace

The initdata specification provides a flexible way to initialize a peer pod with sensitive or workload-specific data at runtime, avoiding the need to embed such data in the virtual machine (VM) image. This enhances security by reducing exposure of confidential information and improves flexibility by eliminating custom image builds. For example, initdata can include three configuration settings:

  • An X.509 certificate for secure communication.
  • A cryptographic key for authentication.
  • An optional Kata Agent policy.rego file to enforce runtime behavior when overriding the default Kata Agent policy.

You can apply an initdata configuration by using one of the following methods:

  • Globally by including it in the peer pods config map, setting a cluster-wide default for all pods.

  • For a specific pod when configuring a pod workload object, allowing customization for individual workloads.

    The io.katacontainers.config.runtime.cc_init_data annotation you specify when configuring a pod workload object overrides the global INITDATA setting in the peer pods config map for that specific pod. The Kata runtime handles this precedence automatically at pod creation time.

The initdata content configures the following components:

  • Attestation Agent (AA), which verifies the trustworthiness of the peer pod by sending evidence to the Trustee for attestation.
  • Confidential Data Hub (CDH), which manages secrets and secure data access within the peer pod VM.
  • Kata Agent, which enforces runtime policies and manages the lifecycle of the containers inside the pod VM.

8.5. Creating initdata
Copiar enlace

Create a TOML file with initdata and convert it to a Base64-encoded string. Use this string to specify the value in the peer pods config map, in the peer pod manifest, or in the busybox.yaml file.

Important

You must delete the kbs_cert setting if you configure insecure_http = true in the Trustee config map.

Procedure

  1. Obtain the Trustee IP address by running the following command: 

    $ oc get node $(oc get pod -n trustee-operator-system -o jsonpath='{.items[0].spec.nodeName}') -o jsonpath='{.status.addresses[?(@.type=="InternalIP")].address}'
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Example output

    192.168.122.22
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Obtain the Trustee port by running the following command: 

    $ oc get svc kbs-service -n trustee-operator-system
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Example output

    NAME         TYPE        CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)          AGE
kbs-service  NodePort    172.30.116.11   <none>        8080:32178/TCP   12d
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. Create the initdata.toml configuration file: 

    ```toml
algorithm = "sha384"
version = "0.1.0"

[data]
"aa.toml" = '''
[token_configs]
[token_configs.coco_as]

8.6. Updating the peer pods config map
Copiar enlace

You must update the peer pods config map for Confidential Containers.

Note

Set Secure Boot to true to enable it by default. The default value is false, which presents a security risk.

Procedure

  1. Create a peer-pods-cm.yaml manifest file according to the following example: 

    apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: peer-pods-cm
  namespace: openshift-sandboxed-containers-operator
data:
  CLOUD_PROVIDER: "libvirt"
  PEERPODS_LIMIT_PER_NODE: "10"
    1 
    
  LIBVIRT_POOL: "<libvirt_pool>"
    2 
    
  LIBVIRT_VOL_NAME: "<libvirt_volume>"
    3 
    
  LIBVIRT_DIR_NAME: "/var/lib/libvirt/images/<directory_name>"
    4 
    
  LIBVIRT_NET: "default"
    5 
    
  INITDATA: "<base64_encoded_initdata>"
    6

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Specify the maximum number of peer pods that can be created per node. The default value is 10.
    2
    Specify the libvirt pool. If you have manually configured the libvirt pool, use the same name as in your KVM host configuration.
    3
    Specify the libvirt volume name. If you have manually configured the libvirt volume, use the same name as in your KVM host configuration.
    4
    Specify the libvirt directory for storing virtual machine disk images, such as .qcow2, or .raw files. To ensure libvirt has read and write access permissions, use a subdirectory of the libvirt storage directory. The default is /var/lib/libvirt/images/.
    5
    Optional: Specify a libvirt network if you do not want to use the default network.
    6
    Specify the Base64-encoded string you created in the initdata.txt file.

  2. Create the config map by running the following command: 

    $ oc apply -f peer-pods-cm.yaml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. Restart the ds/osc-caa-ds daemon set by running the following command: 

    $ oc set env ds/osc-caa-ds \
  -n openshift-sandboxed-containers-operator REBOOT="$(date)"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

8.7. Customizing the Kata agent policy
Copiar enlace

The Kata agent policy is a security mechanism that controls agent API requests for pods running with the Kata runtime. Written in Rego and enforced by the Kata agent within the pod virtual machine (VM), this policy determines which operations are allowed or denied.

By default, the Kata agent policy disables the exec and log APIs, as they might transmit or receive unencrypted data through the control plane, which is insecure.

You can override the default policy with a custom one for specific use cases, such as development and testing where security is not a concern. For example, you might run in an environment where the control plane can be trusted. You can apply a custom policy in several ways:

  • Embedding it in the pod VM image.
  • Patching the peer pods config map.
  • Adding an annotation to the workload pod YAML.

For production systems, the preferred method is to use initdata to override the Kata agent policy. The following procedure applies a custom policy to an individual pod using the io.katacontainers.config.agent.policy annotation. The policy is provided in Base64-encoded Rego format. This approach overrides the default policy at pod creation without modifying the pod VM image.

Important

Enabling the exec or log APIs in Confidential Containers workloads might expose sensitive information. Do not enable these APIs in production environments.

Note

A custom policy replaces the default policy entirely. To modify only specific APIs, include the full policy and adjust the relevant rules.

Procedure

  1. Create a policy.rego file with your custom policy. The following example shows all configurable APIs, with exec and log enabled for demonstration: 

    package agent_policy

import future.keywords.in
import input

default CopyFileRequest := false
default CreateContainerRequest := false
default CreateSandboxRequest := true
default DestroySandboxRequest := true
default ExecProcessRequest := true  # Enabled to allow exec API
default GetOOMEventRequest := true
default GuestDetailsRequest := true
default OnlineCPUMemRequest := true
default PullImageRequest := true
default ReadStreamRequest := true   # Enabled to allow log API
default RemoveContainerRequest := true
default RemoveStaleVirtiofsShareMountsRequest := true
default SignalProcessRequest := true
default StartContainerRequest := true
default StatsContainerRequest := true
default TtyWinResizeRequest := true
default UpdateEphemeralMountsRequest := true
default UpdateInterfaceRequest := true
default UpdateRoutesRequest := true
default WaitProcessRequest := true
default WriteStreamRequest := false
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    This policy enables the exec (ExecProcessRequest) and log (ReadStreamRequest) APIs. Adjust the true or false values to customize the policy further based on your needs.

  2. Convert the policy.rego file to a Base64-encoded string by running the following command: 

    $ base64 -w0 policy.rego
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Save the output for use in the yaml file.

  3. Add the Base64-encoded policy to a my-pod.yaml pod specification file: 

    apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: <pod_name>
  annotations:
    io.katacontainers.config.agent.policy: <base64_encoded_policy>
spec:
  runtimeClassName: kata-remote
  containers:
  - name: <container_name>
    image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi:latest
    command:
    - sleep
    - "36000"
    securityContext:
      privileged: false
      seccompProfile:
        type: RuntimeDefault
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  4. Apply the pod manifest by running the following command: 

    $ oc apply -f my-pod.yaml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

8.8. Deleting the KataConfig custom resource
Copiar enlace

You can delete the KataConfig custom resource (CR) by using the command line.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).
  • You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role.

Procedure

  1. Delete the KataConfig CR by running the following command: 

    $ oc delete kataconfig example-kataconfig
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Verify that the custom resource was deleted by running the following command: 

    $ oc get kataconfig example-kataconfig
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Example output

    No example-kataconfig instances exist
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Important

When uninstalling OpenShift sandboxed containers deployed using a cloud provider, you must delete all of the pods. Any remaining pod resources might result in an unexpected bill from your cloud provider.

8.9. Updating the peer pods secret
Copiar enlace

You must update the peer pods secret.

The secret stores credentials for creating the pod virtual machine (VM) image and peer pod instances.

By default, the OpenShift sandboxed containers Operator creates the secret based on the credentials used to create the cluster. However, you can manually create a secret that uses different credentials.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Create a peer-pods-secret.yaml manifest file according to the following example: 

    apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: peer-pods-secret
  namespace: openshift-sandboxed-containers-operator
type: Opaque
stringData:
  CLOUD_PROVIDER: "libvirt"
  LIBVIRT_URI: "<libvirt_gateway_uri>"
    1 
    
  REDHAT_OFFLINE_TOKEN: "<rh_offline_token>"
    2 
    
  HOST_KEY_CERTS: "<host_key_crt_value>"
    3
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Specify the libvirt URI.
    2
    Specify the Red Hat offline token, which is required for the Operator-built image.
    3
    Specify the HKD certificate value to enable IBM Secure Execution for the Operator-built image.

  2. Create the secret by running the following command: 

    $ oc apply -f peer-pods-secret.yaml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

8.10. Selecting a custom peer pod VM image
Copiar enlace

You can select a custom peer pod virtual machine (VM) image, tailored to your workload requirements by adding an annotation to the pod manifest. The custom image overrides the default image specified in the peer pods config map. You create a new libvirt volume in your libvirt pool and upload the custom peer pod VM image to the new volume. Then, you update the pod manifest to use the custom peer pod VM image.

Prerequisites

  • The ID of the custom pod VM image to use, compatible with the cloud provider or hypervisor, is available.

Procedure

  1. Set the name of the libvirt pool by running the following command: 

    $ export LIBVIRT_POOL=<libvirt_pool>
    1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Specify the existing libvirt pool name.

  2. Set the name of the new libvirt volume by running the following command: 

    $ export LIBVIRT_VOL_NAME=<new_libvirt_volume>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. Create a libvirt volume for the pool by running the following command: 

    $ virsh -c qemu:///system \
  vol-create-as --pool $LIBVIRT_POOL \
  --name $LIBVIRT_VOL_NAME \
  --capacity 20G \
  --allocation 2G \
  --prealloc-metadata \
  --format qcow2
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  4. Upload the custom peer pod VM image to the libvirt volume: 

    $ virsh -c qemu:///system vol-upload \
  --vol $LIBVIRT_VOL_NAME <custom_podvm_image.qcow2> \
    1 
    
  --pool $LIBVIRT_POOL --sparse
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Specify the custom peer pod VM image name.

  5. Create a pod-manifest.yaml manifest file according to the following example: 

    apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: pod-manifest
  annotations:
    io.katacontainers.config.hypervisor.image: "<new_libvirt_volume>"
    1 
    
spec:
  runtimeClassName: kata-remote
    2 
    
  containers:
  - name: <example_container>
    3 
    
    image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi:9.3
    command: ["sleep", "36000"]
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Specify the libvirt volume name where you have uploaded the custom peer pod VM image.
    2
    Ensure that the runtimeClassName field is set to kata-remote to create a peer pod.
    3
    Specify the container name.

  6. Create the pod by running the following command: 

    $ oc apply -f pod-manifest.yaml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

8.11. Re-creating the KataConfig custom resource
Copiar enlace

You must re-create the KataConfig custom resource (CR) for Confidential Containers.

Important

Creating the KataConfig CR automatically reboots the worker nodes. The reboot can take from 10 to more than 60 minutes. Factors that impede reboot time are as follows:

  • A larger OpenShift Container Platform deployment with a greater number of worker nodes.
  • Activation of the BIOS and Diagnostics utility.
  • Deployment on a hard disk drive rather than an SSD.
  • Deployment on physical nodes such as bare metal, rather than on virtual nodes.
  • A slow CPU and network.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role.

Procedure

  1. Create an example-kataconfig.yaml manifest file according to the following example: 

    apiVersion: kataconfiguration.openshift.io/v1
kind: KataConfig
metadata:
  name: example-kataconfig
spec:
  enablePeerPods: true
  logLevel: info
#  kataConfigPoolSelector:
#    matchLabels:
#      <label_key>: '<label_value>'
    1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Optional: If you have applied node labels to install kata-remote on specific nodes, specify the key and value, for example, cc: 'true'.

  2. Create the KataConfig CR by running the following command: 

    $ oc apply -f example-kataconfig.yaml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    The new KataConfig CR is created and installs kata-remote as a runtime class on the worker nodes.

    Wait for the kata-remote installation to complete and the worker nodes to reboot before verifying the installation.

  3. Monitor the installation progress by running the following command: 

    $ watch "oc describe kataconfig | sed -n /^Status:/,/^Events/p"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    When the status of all workers under kataNodes is installed and the condition InProgress is False without specifying a reason, the kata-remote is installed on the cluster.

  4. Verify that you have built the peer pod image and uploaded it to the libvirt volume by running the following command: 

    $ oc describe configmap peer-pods-cm -n openshift-sandboxed-containers-operator
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Example output

    Name: peer-pods-cm
Namespace: openshift-sandboxed-containers-operator
Labels: <none>
Annotations: <none>

Data

You must configure the IBM Secure Execution (SE) certificates and keys for your worker nodes.

Prerequisites

  • You have the IP address of the bastion node.
  • You have the internal IP addresses of the worker nodes.

Procedure

  1. Generate the Key Broker Service (KBS) certificate and key by performing the following steps:

    1. Create the kbs.conf configuration file according to the following example: 

      [req]
default_bits = 2048
default_keyfile = localhost.key
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
req_extensions = req_ext
x509_extensions = v3_ca

[req_distinguished_name]
countryName = Country Name (2-letter code)
countryName_default = <country_name>
stateOrProvinceName = State or Province Name (full name)
stateOrProvinceName_default = <state_name>
localityName = Locality Name (eg, city)
localityName_default = <locality_name>
organizationName = Organization Name (eg, company)
organizationName_default = Red Hat
organizationalUnitName = organizationalunit
organizationalUnitName_default = Development
commonName = Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or
YOUR name)
commonName_default = kbs-service
commonName_max = 64

[req_ext]
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[v3_ca]
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[alt_names]
IP.1  = <trustee_ip>
DNS.1  = localhost
DNS.2  = 127.0.0.1

8.16. Configuring Trustee values, policies, and secrets
Copiar enlace

You can configure the following values, policies, and secrets for Trustee:

  • Reference values for the Reference Value Provider Service.
  • Attestation policy for IBM Secure Execution.
  • Secret for custom keys for Trustee clients.
  • Secret for container image signature verification.
  • Container image signature verification policy. This policy is mandatory. If you do not use container image signature verification, you must create a policy that does not verify signatures.
  • Resource access policy.

8.16.1. Configuring reference values
Copiar enlace

You can configure reference values for the Reference Value Provider Service (RVPS) by specifying the trusted digests of your hardware platform.

The client collects measurements from the running software, the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) hardware and firmware and it submits a quote with the claims to the Attestation Server. These measurements must match the trusted digests registered to the Trustee. This process ensures that the confidential VM (CVM) is running the expected software stack and has not been tampered with.

Procedure

  1. Create an rvps-configmap.yaml manifest file: 

    apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: rvps-reference-values
  namespace: trustee-operator-system
data:
  reference-values.json: |
    [
    1 
    
    ]
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Leave this value empty.

  2. Create the RVPS config map by running the following command: 

    $ oc apply -f rvps-configmap.yaml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

8.16.2. Creating the attestation policy for IBM Secure Execution
Copiar enlace

You must create the attestation policy for IBM Secure Execution.

Procedure

  1. Create an attestation-policy.yaml manifest file: 

    apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: attestation-policy
  namespace: trustee-operator-system
data:
  default.rego: |
    package policy
    import rego.v1
    default allow = false
    converted_version := sprintf("%v", [input["se.version"]])
    allow if {
        input["se.attestation_phkh"] == "<se.attestation_phkh>"
        input["se.image_phkh"] == "<se.image_phkh>"
        input["se.tag"] == "<se.tag>"
        converted_version == "256"
    }
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    default.rego
    Do not modify the policy name.
    <se.attestation_phkh>
    Replace this with the attestation policy fields you obtained by running the se_parse_hdr.py script.

  2. Create the attestation policy config map by running the following command: 

    $ oc apply -f attestation-policy.yaml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

8.16.3. Creating a secret with custom keys for clients
Copiar enlace

You can create a secret that contains one or more custom keys for Trustee clients.

In this example, the kbsres1 secret has two entries (key1, key2), which the clients retrieve. You can add additional secrets according to your requirements by using the same format.

Prerequisites

  • You have created one or more custom keys.

Procedure

  • Create a secret for the custom keys according to the following example: 

    $ oc apply secret generic kbsres1 \
  --from-literal key1=<custom_key1> \
    1 
    
  --from-literal key2=<custom_key2> \
  -n trustee-operator-system
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Specify a custom key.

    The kbsres1 secret is specified in the spec.kbsSecretResources key of the KbsConfig custom resource.

8.16.4. Creating a secret for container image signature verification
Copiar enlace

If you use container image signature verification, you must create a secret that contains the public container image signing key.

The Confidential compute attestation Operator uses the secret to verify the signature, ensuring that only trusted and authenticated container images are deployed in your environment.

You can use Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer or other tools to sign container images.

Procedure

  1. Create a secret for container image signature verification by running the following command: 

    $ oc apply secret generic <type> \
    1 
    
  --from-file=<tag>=./<public_key_file> \
    2 
    
  -n trustee-operator-system
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Specify the KBS secret type, for example, img-sig.
    2
    Specify the secret tag, for example, pub-key, and the public container image signing key.
  2. Record the <type> value. You must add this value to the spec.kbsSecretResources key when you create the KbsConfig custom resource.

8.16.5. Creating the container image signature verification policy
Copiar enlace

You create the container image signature verification policy because signature verification is always enabled. If this policy is missing, the pods will not start.

If you are not using container image signature verification, you create the policy without signature verification.

For more information, see containers-policy.json 5.

Procedure

  1. Create a security-policy-config.json file according to the following examples:

    • Without signature verification: 

      {
  "default": [
  {
    "type": "insecureAcceptAnything"
  }],
  "transports": {}
}
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    • With signature verification: 

      {
    "default": [
    ],
    "transports": {
        "docker": {
            "<container_registry_url>/<username>/busybox:latest":
      1 
      
            [
                {
                    "type": "sigstoreSigned",
                    "keyPath": "kbs:///default/img-sig/pub-key"
      2 
      
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
      1
      Specify the container registry URL, for example, "quay.io".
      2
      Specify the type and tag of the container image signature verification secret that you created, for example, img-sig/pub-key.

  2. Create the security policy by running the following command: 

    $ oc apply secret generic security-policy \
  --from-file=osc=./<security-policy-config.json> \
  -n trustee-operator-system
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Do not alter the secret type, security-policy, or the key, osc.

    The security-policy secret is specified in the spec.kbsSecretResources key of the KbsConfig custom resource.

8.16.6. Creating the resource access policy
Copiar enlace

You configure the resource access policy for the Trustee policy engine. This policy determines which resources Trustee can access.

Note

The Trustee policy engine is different from the Attestation Service policy engine, which determines the validity of TEE evidence.

Procedure

  1. Create a resourcepolicy-configmap.yaml manifest file: 

    apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: resource-policy
  namespace: trustee-operator-system
data:
  policy.rego:
    package policy

8.19. Verifying the attestation process
Copiar enlace

You can verify the attestation process by creating a BusyBox pod. The pod image deploys the confidential workload where you can retrieve the key.

Important

This procedure is an example to verify that attestation is working. Do not write sensitive data to standard I/O because the data can be captured by using a memory dump. Only data written to memory is encrypted.

Procedure

  1. Create a busybox.yaml manifest file: 

    apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: busybox
  namespace: default
  labels:
    run: busybox
spec:
  runtimeClassName: kata-remote
  restartPolicy: Never
  containers:
  - name: busybox
    image: quay.io/prometheus/busybox:latest
    imagePullPolicy: Always
    command:
      - "sleep"
      - "3600"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Create the pod by running the following command: 

    $ oc create -f busybox.yaml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. Log in to the pod by running the following command: 

    $ oc exec -it busybox -n default -- /bin/sh
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  4. Get the secret key by running the following command: 

    $ wget http://127.0.0.1:8006/cdh/resource/default/kbsres1/key1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Example output

    Connecting to 127.0.0.1:8006 (127.0.0.1:8006)
saving to 'key1'
key1                 100% |*******************************************|     8  0:00:00 ETA
'key1' saved
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  5. Display the key1 value by running the following command: 

    $ cat key1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Example output

    res1val1/ #
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
