Chapter 3. Configuring the security context for pods


The default service account for pods that OpenShift Pipelines starts is pipeline. The security context constraint (SCC) associated with the pipeline service account is pipelines-scc. The pipelines-scc SCC is based the anyuid SCC, with minor differences as defined in the following YAML specification:

Example pipelines-scc.yaml snippet

apiVersion: security.openshift.io/v1
kind: SecurityContextConstraints
# ...
allowedCapabilities:
  - SETFCAP
# ...
fsGroup:
  type: MustRunAs
# ...

In addition, the Buildah cluster task, shipped as part of OpenShift Pipelines, uses vfs as the default storage driver.

You can configure the security context for pods that OpenShift Pipelines creates for pipeline runs and task runs. You can make the following changes:

  • Change the default and maximum SCC for all pods
  • Change the default SCC for pods created for pipeline runs and task runs in a particular namespace
  • Configure a particular pipeline run or task run to use a custom SCC and service account
Note

The simplest way to run buildah that ensures all images can build is to run it as root in a pod with the privileged SCC. For instructions about running buildah with more restrictive security settings, see Building of container images using Buildah as a non-root user.

3.1. Configuring the default and maximum SCC for pods that OpenShift Pipelines creates

You can configure the default security context constraint (SCC) for all pods that OpenShift Pipelines creates for task runs and pipeline runs. You can also configure the maximum SCC, which is the least restrictive SCC that can be configured for these pods in any namespace.

Procedure

  • Edit the TektonConfig custom resource (CR) by entering the following command:

    $ oc edit TektonConfig config

    Set the default and maximum SCC in the spec, as in the following example:

    apiVersion: operator.tekton.dev/v1alpha1
    kind: TektonConfig
    metadata:
      name: config
    spec:
    #  ...
      platforms:
        openshift:
          scc:
            default: "restricted-v2" 1
            maxAllowed: "privileged" 2
    1
    spec.platforms.openshift.scc.default specifies the default SCC that OpenShift Pipelines attaches to the service account (SA) used for workloads, which is, by default, the pipeline SA. This SCC is used for all pipeline run and task run pods.
    2
    spec.platforms.openshift.scc.maxAllowed specifies the least restrictive SCC that you can configure for pipeline run and task run pods in any namespace. This setting does not apply when you configure a custom SA and SCC in a particular pipeline run or task run.

3.2. Configuring the SCC for pods in a namespace

You can configure the security context constraint (SCC) for all pods that OpenShift Pipelines creates for pipeline runs and task runs that you create in a particular namespace. This SCC must not be less restrictive than the maximum SCC that you configured using the TektonConfig CR, in the spec.platforms.openshift.scc.maxAllowed spec.

Procedure

  • Set the operator.tekton.dev/scc annotation for the namespace to the name of the SCC.

    Example namespace annotation for configuring the SCC for OpenShift Pipelines pods

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Namespace
    metadata:
      name: test-namespace
      annotations:
        operator.tekton.dev/scc: nonroot

3.3. Running pipeline run and task run by using a custom SCC and a custom service account

When using the pipelines-scc security context constraint (SCC) associated with the default pipelines service account, the pipeline run and task run pods might face timeouts. This happens because in the default pipelines-scc SCC, the fsGroup.type parameter is set to MustRunAs.

Note

For more information about pod timeouts, see BZ#1995779.

To avoid pod timeouts, you can create a custom SCC with the fsGroup.type parameter set to RunAsAny, and associate it with a custom service account.

Note

As a best practice, use a custom SCC and a custom service account for pipeline runs and task runs. This approach allows greater flexibility and does not break the runs when the defaults are modified during an upgrade.

Procedure

  1. Define a custom SCC with the fsGroup.type parameter set to RunAsAny:

    Example: Custom SCC

    apiVersion: security.openshift.io/v1
    kind: SecurityContextConstraints
    metadata:
      annotations:
        kubernetes.io/description: my-scc is a close replica of anyuid scc. pipelines-scc has fsGroup - RunAsAny.
      name: my-scc
    allowHostDirVolumePlugin: false
    allowHostIPC: false
    allowHostNetwork: false
    allowHostPID: false
    allowHostPorts: false
    allowPrivilegeEscalation: true
    allowPrivilegedContainer: false
    allowedCapabilities: null
    defaultAddCapabilities: null
    fsGroup:
      type: RunAsAny
    groups:
    - system:cluster-admins
    priority: 10
    readOnlyRootFilesystem: false
    requiredDropCapabilities:
    - MKNOD
    runAsUser:
      type: RunAsAny
    seLinuxContext:
      type: MustRunAs
    supplementalGroups:
      type: RunAsAny
    volumes:
    - configMap
    - downwardAPI
    - emptyDir
    - persistentVolumeClaim
    - projected
    - secret

  2. Create the custom SCC:

    Example: Create the my-scc SCC

    $ oc create -f my-scc.yaml

  3. Create a custom service account:

    Example: Create a fsgroup-runasany service account

    $ oc create serviceaccount fsgroup-runasany

  4. Associate the custom SCC with the custom service account:

    Example: Associate the my-scc SCC with the fsgroup-runasany service account

    $ oc adm policy add-scc-to-user my-scc -z fsgroup-runasany

    If you want to use the custom service account for privileged tasks, you can associate the privileged SCC with the custom service account by running the following command:

    Example: Associate the privileged SCC with the fsgroup-runasany service account

    $ oc adm policy add-scc-to-user privileged -z fsgroup-runasany

  5. Use the custom service account in the pipeline run and task run:

    Example: Pipeline run YAML with fsgroup-runasany custom service account

    apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1
    kind: PipelineRun
    metadata:
      name: <pipeline-run-name>
    spec:
      pipelineRef:
        name: <pipeline-cluster-task-name>
      taskRunTemplate:
        serviceAccountName: 'fsgroup-runasany'

    Example: Task run YAML with fsgroup-runasany custom service account

    apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1
    kind: TaskRun
    metadata:
      name: <task-run-name>
    spec:
      taskRef:
        name: <cluster-task-name>
      taskRunTemplate:
        serviceAccountName: 'fsgroup-runasany'
