A PodSecurityPolicy (PSP) is cluster level resource that controls security sensitive aspects of the Pod specefications via Kubernetes Admission Control.

• Set of policies (At least 2. A permisive policy for Kube-System namespace and restrictive policy for rest of the workload running in the cluster)
• RBAC for PSP Policies. (The policies are notthing but a Kubernetes object. In order to something in Kubernetes to use these policies, we have to create associated Role-base access control (RBAC))
• Last but not least, Activate the PodSecurityPolicy via admission control flag in Kube-Api Server (--enable-admission-plugins=PodSecurityPolicy). I purposely mentiond this last to stress the point, only enabling the PSP in Kube-API server and not having policy and assocated RBAC will make cluster non-operational.

• Start the KIND Cluster. Check the kind-config.yaml. The PSP flag is enabled in the Kube-API Server

  kind create cluster --config=kind-config.yaml
  

• Apply the restricted policy along with RBAC

  kubectl apply -f restricted-psp.yaml
  kubectl apply -f restricted-rbac.yaml
  

• Apply the priviledge policy along with RBAC

  kubectl apply -f privileged-psp.yaml
  kubectl apply -f privileged-rbac.yaml
  

• make sure all critical Pods are up and running

  kubectl get pods -A
  kubectl get nodes
  

Secure compute (seccomp) model is feature, which focuses on limiting what system calls our containers will be able to execute

I have created a custome seccomp profile, which restrict to run ls command inside a continer. I have tested the same by running :

docker container run --rm -it --security-opt seccomp=default-no-ls.json alpine sh
/ # ls
sh: lseek: Operation not permitted

Now, I am trying activate the same profile in Kubernetes.

I have created configMap for the seccomp profile.

I placed th profile inside the node /var/lib/kubelet/seccomp(using a daemonset)

and then created a deployment with following annotations: container.security.alpha.kubernetes.io/alpine: "localhost/my-profile.json"
