NEW QUESTION # 11
Fix all issues via configuration and restart the affected components to ensure the new setting takes effect.
Fix all of the following violations that were found against the API server:- a. Ensure the --authorization-mode argument includes RBAC b. Ensure the --authorization-mode argument includes Node c. Ensure that the --profiling argument is set to false Fix all of the following violations that were found against the Kubelet:- a. Ensure the --anonymous-auth argument is set to false.

Hint: Take the use of Tool Kube-Bench
Answer:
Explanation:
API server:
Ensure the --authorization-mode argument includes RBAC
Turn on Role Based Access Control. Role Based Access Control (RBAC) allows fine-grained control over the operations that different entities can perform on different objects in the cluster. It is recommended to use the RBAC authorization mode.

Ensure the --authorization-mode argument includes Node
Remediation: Edit the API server pod specification file /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml on the master node and set the --authorization-mode parameter to a value that includes Node.
--authorization-mode=Node,RBAC
Audit:
/bin/ps -ef | grep kube-apiserver | grep -v grep
Expected result:
'Node,RBAC' has 'Node'
Ensure that the --profiling argument is set to false
Remediation: Edit the API server pod specification file /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml on the master node and set the below parameter.
--profiling=false
Audit:
/bin/ps -ef | grep kube-apiserver | grep -v grep
Expected result:
'false' is equal to 'false'
Fix all of the following violations that were found against the Kubelet:- Ensure the --anonymous-auth argument is set to false.
Remediation: If using a Kubelet config file, edit the file to set authentication: anonymous: enabled to false. If using executable arguments, edit the kubelet service file /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d/10-kubeadm.conf on each worker node and set the below parameter in KUBELET_SYSTEM_PODS_ARGS variable.
--anonymous-auth=false
Based on your system, restart the kubelet service. For example:
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart kubelet.service
Audit:
/bin/ps -fC kubelet
Audit Config:
/bin/cat /var/lib/kubelet/config.yaml
Expected result:
'false' is equal to 'false'
2) Ensure that the --authorization-mode argument is set to Webhook.

docker inspect kubelet | jq -e '.[0].Args[] | match("--authorization-mode=Webhook").string' Returned Value: --authorization-mode=Webhook Fix all of the following violations that were found against the ETCD:- a. Ensure that the --auto-tls argument is not set to true Do not use self-signed certificates for TLS. etcd is a highly-available key value store used by Kubernetes deployments for persistent storage of all of its REST API objects. These objects are sensitive in nature and should not be available to unauthenticated clients. You should enable the client authentication via valid certificates to secure the access to the etcd service.

SIMULATION
Create a network policy named allow-np, that allows pod in the namespace staging to connect to port 80 of other pods in the same namespace.
Ensure that Network Policy:-
1. Does not allow access to pod not listening on port 80.
2. Does not allow access from Pods, not in namespace staging.

Enable audit logs in the cluster, To Do so, enable the log backend, and ensure that
1. logs are stored at /var/log/kubernetes/kubernetes-logs.txt.
2. Log files are retained for 5 days.
3. at maximum, a number of 10 old audit logs files are retained.
Edit and extend the basic policy to log:
Answer: A
Explanation:
2. Log the request body of deployments changes in the namespace kube-system.
3. Log all other resources in core and extensions at the Request level.
4. Don't log watch requests by the "system:kube-proxy" on endpoints or
NEW QUESTION # 15
You are deploying a containerized application that requires root privileges to perform certain tasks. However, you want to minimize the security risks associated with running the container as root Explain how to use capabilities to achieve this.
Answer:
Explanation:
Solution (Step by Step) :
1. Identify Required Capabilities:
- Determine the specific capabilities that your application requires.
- For example, if the application needs to access network devices or manipulate system files, it might need capabilities like 'NET ADMIN' or 'SYS ADMIN'.
2. Configure the Capabilities in the Pod Spec:
- In the pod spec's 'securityContext', define the 'capabilities' field.
- Add the required capabilities to the 'requestedCapabilities' list.
- You can also specify 'dropCapabilitieS to remove unnecessary capabilities from the container
- Example:
3. Build and Deploy the Container: - Build your container image, ensuring that the Dockerflle or build process includes any necessary system calls or libraries that are used by the application. 4. Test and Verify: - Deploy the pod and run the application. - Verify that the application functions correctly with the granted capabilities. - You can use tools like 'ps aux' and 'strace' to check that the application is using only the specific capabilities you have allowed. 5. Minimize Attack Surface: - Even with selective capabilities, it's crucial to minimize the overall attack surface by following other security best practices: - Use a minimal base image for your container. - Avoid running the container with unnecessary privileges. - Regularly update your container images and your Kubernetes cluster. - Implement strong authentication and authorization controls.
