NEW QUESTION # 13
SIMULATION
You can switch the cluster/configuration context using the following command:
[desk@cli] $ kubectl config use-context test-account
Task: Enable audit logs in the cluster.
To do so, enable the log backend, and ensure that:
1. logs are stored at /var/log/Kubernetes/logs.txt
2. log files are retained for 5 days
3. at maximum, a number of 10 old audit log files are retained
A basic policy is provided at /etc/Kubernetes/logpolicy/audit-policy.yaml. It only specifies what not to log.
Note: The base policy is located on the cluster's master node.
Edit and extend the basic policy to log:
1. Nodes changes at RequestResponse level
2. The request body of persistentvolumes changes in the namespace frontend
3. ConfigMap and Secret changes in all namespaces at the Metadata level Also, add a catch-all rule to log all other requests at the Metadata level Note: Don't forget to apply the modified policy.

NEW QUESTION # 14
You are tasked with ensuring the security of a Kubernetes cluster running a sensitive application. Describe now you would implement a "least privilege" principle for both users and service accounts in this cluster.
Answer:
Explanation:
Solution (Step by Step) :
1. User Roles and Permissions:
- Define specific roles with minimal permissions for different user groups based on their responsibilities.
- For example, developers might have access to deploy applications, while operations team members might have access to manage resources.
- use RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) in Kubemetes to define roles and assign them to users.
2. Service Account Permissions:
- Create separate service accounts for each application or service in the cluster.
- Grant the service accounts only the necessary permissions to perform their specific tasks.
- Avoid using default service accounts with broad permissions.
- Employ the "principle ot least privilege" by defining minimal permissions for service accounts.
3. Pod Security Policies (PSPs):
- Implement PSPs to enforce security constraints on pods, restricting resources that they can access.
- Define PSPs to allow only specific container images, disable privileged containers, limit resource requests, and enforce other security controls.
- Consider using Pod Security Admission (PSA) as a replacement for PSPs in Kubernetes 1.25+.
4. Network Policies:
- Implement network policies to control network communication between pods and services.
- Define rules that allow only necessary traffic between pods, restricting any unnecessary or unauthorized connections.
5. Secret Management
- Utilize Kubernetes Secrets to store sensitive information like passwords and API keys.
- Limit access to secrets based on the principle of least privilege.
- Avoid storing sensitive information directly in deployment YAML files.
NEW QUESTION # 15
Create a new ServiceAccount named backend-sa in the existing namespace default, which has the capability to list the pods inside the namespace default.
Create a new Pod named backend-pod in the namespace default, mount the newly created sa backend-sa to the pod, and Verify that the pod is able to list pods.
Ensure that the Pod is running.
Answer:
Explanation:
A service account provides an identity for processes that run in a Pod.
When you (a human) access the cluster (for example, using kubectl), you are authenticated by the apiserver as a particular User Account (currently this is usually admin, unless your cluster administrator has customized your cluster). Processes in containers inside pods can also contact the apiserver. When they do, they are authenticated as a particular Service Account (for example, default).
When you create a pod, if you do not specify a service account, it is automatically assigned the default service account in the same namespace. If you get the raw json or yaml for a pod you have created (for example, kubectl get pods/<podname> -o yaml), you can see the spec.serviceAccountName field has been automatically set.
You can access the API from inside a pod using automatically mounted service account credentials, as described in Accessing the Cluster. The API permissions of the service account depend on the authorization plugin and policy in use.
In version 1.6+, you can opt out of automounting API credentials for a service account by setting automountServiceAccountToken: false on the service account:
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: build-robot
automountServiceAccountToken: false
...
In version 1.6+, you can also opt out of automounting API credentials for a particular pod:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: my-pod
spec:
serviceAccountName: build-robot
automountServiceAccountToken: false
...
The pod spec takes precedence over the service account if both specify a automountServiceAccountToken value.
