Container Service for Kubernetes:Predefined security policies of ACK

Last Updated:Dec 19, 2024

You can configure security policies for pods to verify the security of requests for deploying or updating pods. The cluster policy management feature provides four built-in rule libraries: Compliance, Infra, K8s-general, and PSP.

Background information

ACK provides the following types of predefined security policies:

  • Compliance: Security policies of this type are customized based on compliance standards such as Alibaba Cloud Kubernetes Security Hardening.

  • Infra: Security policies of this type are used to ensure and enhance the security of cloud infrastructure resources.

  • K8s-general: Security policies of this type are used to limit and normalize the configurations of sensitive resources in Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) clusters and enhance the security of applications in ACK clusters.

  • PSP: Security policies of this type can be used as an alternative to pod security policies (PSPs) of open source Kubernetes and provide the same access control capabilities.

Predefined security policies

The following table describes the predefined security policies of ACK.

Category

Policy

Description

Severity

Compliance

ACKNoEnvVarSecrets

The secretKeyRef parameter cannot be used to reference Secrets when you specify pod environment variables.

medium

ACKPodsRequireSecurityContext

Pods in the specified namespaces must be configured with the securityContext parameter.

low

ACKRestrictNamespaces

Resources of the specified types cannot be deployed in the specified namespaces.

low

ACKRestrictRoleBindings

RoleBindings in the specified namespaces can be used to bind only the specified roles or cluster roles.
