Providing system administrators with such guidance informs them how to securely configure systems under their control in a variety of network roles. Policy makers and baseline creators can use this catalog of settings, with its associated references to higher-level security control catalogs, in order to assist them in security baseline creation. This guide is a catalog, not a checklist, and satisfaction of every item is not likely to be possible or sensible in many operational scenarios. However, the XCCDF format enables granular selection and adjustment of settings, and their association with OVAL and OCIL content provides an automated checking capability. Transformations of this document, and its associated automated checking content, are capable of providing baselines that meet a diverse set of policy objectives. Some example XCCDF Profiles, which are selections of items that form checklists and can be used as baselines, are available with this guide. They can be processed, in an automated fashion, with tools that support the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP). The NIST National Checklist Program (NCP), which provides required settings for the United States Government, is one example of a baseline created from this guidance.

Table of Contents
Checklist
Group Guide to the Secure Configuration of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 Group contains 4 groups and 3 rules | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group Kubernetes Settings Group contains 3 groups and 3 rules | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[ref]
Each section of this configuration guide includes information about the
configuration of a Kubernetes cluster and a set of recommendations for
hardening the configuration. For each hardening recommendation, information
on how to implement the control and/or how to verify or audit the control
is provided. In some cases, remediation information is also provided.
Some of the settings in the hardening guide are in place by default. The
audit information for these settings is provided in order to verify that
the cluster administrator has not made changes that would be less secure.
A small number of items require configuration.
Finally, there are some recommendations that require decisions by the
system operator, such as audit log size, retention, and related settings. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group System and Software Integrity Group contains 1 rule | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[ref]
System and software integrity can be gained by installing antivirus, increasing
system encryption strength with FIPS, verifying installed software, enabling SELinux,
installing an Intrusion Prevention System, etc. However, installing or enabling integrity
checking tools cannot prevent intrusions, but they can detect that an intrusion
may have occurred. Requirements for integrity checking may be highly dependent on
the environment in which the system will be used. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group Kubernetes - General Security Practices Group contains 1 rule | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[ref]
Contains evaluations for general security practices for operating a Kubernetes environment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Group Kubernetes Kubelet Settings Group contains 1 rule | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[ref]
The Kubernetes Kubelet is an agent that runs on each node in the cluster. It
makes sure that containers are running in a pod.
The kubelet takes a set of PodSpecs that are provided through various
mechanisms and ensures that the containers described in those PodSpecs are
running and healthy. The kubelet doesn’t manage containers which were not
created by Kubernetes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
