title: Hardening Guide with CIS 1.5 Benchmark
weight: 200
aliases:
- /rancher/v2.x/en/security/rancher-2.5/1.5-hardening-2.5/
---
This document provides prescriptive guidance for hardening a production installation of a RKE cluster to be used with Rancher v2.5. It outlines the configurations and controls required to address Kubernetes benchmark controls from the Center for Information Security (CIS).
> This hardening guide describes how to secure the nodes in your cluster, and it is recommended to follow this guide before installing Kubernetes.
This hardening guide is intended to be used for RKE clusters and associated with specific versions of the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark, Kubernetes, and Rancher:
Rancher Version | CIS Benchmark Version | Kubernetes Version
----------------|-----------------------|------------------
Rancher v2.5 | Benchmark v1.5 | Kubernetes 1.15
[Click here to download a PDF version of this document](https://releases.rancher.com/documents/security/2.5/Rancher_Hardening_Guide_CIS_1.5.pdf)
### Overview
This document provides prescriptive guidance for hardening a RKE cluster to be used for installing Rancher v2.5 with Kubernetes v1.15 or provisioning a RKE cluster with Kubernetes 1.15 to be used within Rancher v2.5. It outlines the configurations required to address Kubernetes benchmark controls from the Center for Information Security (CIS).
For more detail about evaluating a hardened cluster against the official CIS benchmark, refer to the [CIS 1.5 Benchmark - Self-Assessment Guide - Rancher v2.5]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.5/en/security/rancher-2.5/1.5-benchmark-2.5/).
#### Known Issues
- Rancher **exec shell** and **view logs** for pods are **not** functional in a CIS 1.5 hardened setup when only public IP is provided when registering custom nodes. This functionality requires a private IP to be provided when registering the custom nodes.
- When setting the `default_pod_security_policy_template_id:` to `restricted` Rancher creates **RoleBindings** and **ClusterRoleBindings** on the default service accounts. The CIS 1.5 5.1.5 check requires the default service accounts have no roles or cluster roles bound to it apart from the defaults. In addition the default service accounts should be configured such that it does not provide a service account token and does not have any explicit rights assignments.
### Configure Kernel Runtime Parameters
The following `sysctl` configuration is recommended for all nodes type in the cluster. Set the following parameters in `/etc/sysctl.d/90-kubelet.conf`:
```
vm.overcommit_memory=1
vm.panic_on_oom=0
kernel.panic=10
kernel.panic_on_oops=1
kernel.keys.root_maxbytes=25000000
```
Run `sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/90-kubelet.conf` to enable the settings.
### Configure `etcd` user and group
A user account and group for the **etcd** service is required to be setup before installing RKE. The **uid** and **gid** for the **etcd** user will be used in the RKE **config.yml** to set the proper permissions for files and directories during installation time.
#### create `etcd` user and group
To create the **etcd** group run the following console commands.
The commands below use `52034` for **uid** and **gid** are for example purposes. Any valid unused **uid** or **gid** could also be used in lieu of `52034`.
```
groupadd --gid 52034 etcd
useradd --comment "etcd service account" --uid 52034 --gid 52034 etcd
```
Update the RKE **config.yml** with the **uid** and **gid** of the **etcd** user:
``` yaml
services:
etcd:
gid: 52034
uid: 52034
```
#### Set `automountServiceAccountToken` to `false` for `default` service accounts
Kubernetes provides a default service account which is used by cluster workloads where no specific service account is assigned to the pod. Where access to the Kubernetes API from a pod is required, a specific service account should be created for that pod, and rights granted to that service account. The default service account should be configured such that it does not provide a service account token and does not have any explicit rights assignments.
For each namespace including **default** and **kube-system** on a standard RKE install the **default** service account must include this value:
```
automountServiceAccountToken: false
```
Save the following yaml to a file called `account_update.yaml`
``` yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: default
automountServiceAccountToken: false
```
Create a bash script file called `account_update.sh`. Be sure to `chmod +x account_update.sh` so the script has execute permissions.
```
#!/bin/bash -e
for namespace in $(kubectl get namespaces -A -o json | jq -r '.items[].metadata.name'); do
kubectl patch serviceaccount default -n ${namespace} -p "$(cat account_update.yaml)"
done
```
### Ensure that all Namespaces have Network Policies defined
Running different applications on the same Kubernetes cluster creates a risk of one
compromised application attacking a neighboring application. Network segmentation is
important to ensure that containers can communicate only with those they are supposed
to. A network policy is a specification of how selections of pods are allowed to
communicate with each other and other network endpoints.
Network Policies are namespace scoped. When a network policy is introduced to a given
namespace, all traffic not allowed by the policy is denied. However, if there are no network
policies in a namespace all traffic will be allowed into and out of the pods in that
namespace. To enforce network policies, a CNI (container network interface) plugin must be enabled.
This guide uses [canal](https://github.com/projectcalico/canal) to provide the policy enforcement.
Additional information about CNI providers can be found
[here](https://rancher.com/blog/2019/2019-03-21-comparing-kubernetes-cni-providers-flannel-calico-canal-and-weave/)
Once a CNI provider is enabled on a cluster a default network policy can be applied. For reference purposes a
**permissive** example is provide below. If you want to allow all traffic to all pods in a namespace
(even if policies are added that cause some pods to be treated as “isolated”),
you can create a policy that explicitly allows all traffic in that namespace. Save the following `yaml` as
`default-allow-all.yaml`. Additional [documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/)
about network policies can be found on the Kubernetes site.
> This `NetworkPolicy` is not recommended for production use
``` yaml
---
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
name: default-allow-all
spec:
podSelector: {}
ingress:
- {}
egress:
- {}
policyTypes:
- Ingress
- Egress
```
Create a bash script file called `apply_networkPolicy_to_all_ns.sh`. Be sure to
`chmod +x apply_networkPolicy_to_all_ns.sh` so the script has execute permissions.
```
#!/bin/bash -e
for namespace in $(kubectl get namespaces -A -o json | jq -r '.items[].metadata.name'); do
kubectl apply -f default-allow-all.yaml -n ${namespace}
done
```
Execute this script to apply the `default-allow-all.yaml` the **permissive** `NetworkPolicy` to all namespaces.
### Reference Hardened RKE `cluster.yml` configuration
The reference `cluster.yml` is used by the RKE CLI that provides the configuration needed to achieve a hardened install
of Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE). Install [documentation](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/installation/) is
provided with additional details about the configuration items. This reference `cluster.yml` does not include the required **nodes** directive which will vary depending on your environment. Documentation for node configuration can be found here: https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/nodes
``` yaml
# If you intend to deploy Kubernetes in an air-gapped environment,
# please consult the documentation on how to configure custom RKE images.
kubernetes_version: "v1.15.9-rancher1-1"
enable_network_policy: true

> This hardening guide describes how to secure the nodes in your cluster, and it is recommended to follow this guide before installing Kubernetes.
This hardening guide is intended to be used for RKE clusters and associated with specific versions of the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark, Kubernetes, and Rancher:
Rancher Version | CIS Benchmark Version | Kubernetes Version
----------------|-----------------------|------------------
Rancher v2.5.4 | Benchmark 1.6 | Kubernetes v1.18
[Click here to download a PDF version of this document](https://releases.rancher.com/documents/security/2.5/Rancher_Hardening_Guide_CIS_1.6.pdf)
### Overview
This document provides prescriptive guidance for hardening a RKE cluster to be used for installing Rancher v2.5.4 with Kubernetes v1.18 or provisioning a RKE cluster with Kubernetes v1.18 to be used within Rancher v2.5.4. It outlines the configurations required to address Kubernetes benchmark controls from the Center for Information Security (CIS).
For more detail about evaluating a hardened cluster against the official CIS benchmark, refer to the [CIS 1.6 Benchmark - Self-Assessment Guide - Rancher v2.5.4]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.5/en/security/rancher-2.5/1.6-benchmark-2.5/).
#### Known Issues
- Rancher **exec shell** and **view logs** for pods are **not** functional in a CIS 1.6 hardened setup when only public IP is provided when registering custom nodes. This functionality requires a private IP to be provided when registering the custom nodes.
- When setting the `default_pod_security_policy_template_id:` to `restricted` Rancher creates **RoleBindings** and **ClusterRoleBindings** on the default service accounts. The CIS 1.6 5.1.5 check requires the default service accounts have no roles or cluster roles bound to it apart from the defaults. In addition the default service accounts should be configured such that it does not provide a service account token and does not have any explicit rights assignments.
Migration Rancher from 2.4 to 2.5. Addons were removed in HG 2.5, and therefore namespaces on migration may be not created on the downstream clusters. Pod may fail to run because of missing namesapce like ingress-nginx, cattle-system.
### Configure Kernel Runtime Parameters
The following `sysctl` configuration is recommended for all nodes type in the cluster. Set the following parameters in `/etc/sysctl.d/90-kubelet.conf`:
```ini
vm.overcommit_memory=1
vm.panic_on_oom=0
kernel.panic=10
kernel.panic_on_oops=1
kernel.keys.root_maxbytes=25000000
```
Run `sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/90-kubelet.conf` to enable the settings.
### Configure `etcd` user and group
A user account and group for the **etcd** service is required to be setup before installing RKE. The **uid** and **gid** for the **etcd** user will be used in the RKE **config.yml** to set the proper permissions for files and directories during installation time.
#### create `etcd` user and group
To create the **etcd** group run the following console commands.
The commands below use `52034` for **uid** and **gid** are for example purposes. Any valid unused **uid** or **gid** could also be used in lieu of `52034`.
```bash
groupadd --gid 52034 etcd
useradd --comment "etcd service account" --uid 52034 --gid 52034 etcd
```
Update the RKE **config.yml** with the **uid** and **gid** of the **etcd** user:
```yaml
services:
etcd:
gid: 52034
uid: 52034
```
#### Set `automountServiceAccountToken` to `false` for `default` service accounts
Kubernetes provides a default service account which is used by cluster workloads where no specific service account is assigned to the pod. Where access to the Kubernetes API from a pod is required, a specific service account should be created for that pod, and rights granted to that service account. The default service account should be configured such that it does not provide a service account token and does not have any explicit rights assignments.
For each namespace including **default** and **kube-system** on a standard RKE install the **default** service account must include this value:
```yaml
automountServiceAccountToken: false
```
Save the following yaml to a file called `account_update.yaml`
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: default
automountServiceAccountToken: false
```
Create a bash script file called `account_update.sh`. Be sure to `chmod +x account_update.sh` so the script has execute permissions.
```bash
#!/bin/bash -e
for namespace in $(kubectl get namespaces -A -o json | jq -r '.items[].metadata.name'); do
kubectl patch serviceaccount default -n ${namespace} -p "$(cat account_update.yaml)"
done
```
### Ensure that all Namespaces have Network Policies defined
Running different applications on the same Kubernetes cluster creates a risk of one
compromised application attacking a neighboring application. Network segmentation is
important to ensure that containers can communicate only with those they are supposed
to. A network policy is a specification of how selections of pods are allowed to
communicate with each other and other network endpoints.
Network Policies are namespace scoped. When a network policy is introduced to a given
namespace, all traffic not allowed by the policy is denied. However, if there are no network
policies in a namespace all traffic will be allowed into and out of the pods in that
namespace. To enforce network policies, a CNI (container network interface) plugin must be enabled.
This guide uses [canal](https://github.com/projectcalico/canal) to provide the policy enforcement.
Additional information about CNI providers can be found
[here](https://rancher.com/blog/2019/2019-03-21-comparing-kubernetes-cni-providers-flannel-calico-canal-and-weave/)
Once a CNI provider is enabled on a cluster a default network policy can be applied. For reference purposes a
**permissive** example is provide below. If you want to allow all traffic to all pods in a namespace
(even if policies are added that cause some pods to be treated as “isolated”),
you can create a policy that explicitly allows all traffic in that namespace. Save the following `yaml` as
`default-allow-all.yaml`. Additional [documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/)
about network policies can be found on the Kubernetes site.
> This `NetworkPolicy` is not recommended for production use
```yaml
---
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
name: default-allow-all
spec:
podSelector: {}
ingress:
- {}
egress:
- {}
policyTypes:
- Ingress
- Egress
```
Create a bash script file called `apply_networkPolicy_to_all_ns.sh`. Be sure to
`chmod +x apply_networkPolicy_to_all_ns.sh` so the script has execute permissions.
```bash
#!/bin/bash -e
for namespace in $(kubectl get namespaces -A -o json | jq -r '.items[].metadata.name'); do
kubectl apply -f default-allow-all.yaml -n ${namespace}
done
```
Execute this script to apply the `default-allow-all.yaml` the **permissive** `NetworkPolicy` to all namespaces.
### Reference Hardened RKE `cluster.yml` configuration
The reference `cluster.yml` is used by the RKE CLI that provides the configuration needed to achieve a hardened install
of Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE). Install [documentation](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/installation/) is
provided with additional details about the configuration items. This reference `cluster.yml` does not include the required **nodes** directive which will vary depending on your environment. Documentation for node configuration can be found here: https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/nodes
```yaml
# If you intend to deploy Kubernetes in an air-gapped environment,
# please consult the documentation on how to configure custom RKE images.
# https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/installation/
# the nodes directive is required and will vary depending on your environment

title: Self-Assessment and Hardening Guides for Rancher v2.5
shortTitle: Rancher v2.5 Guides
weight: 1
---
Rancher v2.5 introduced the capability to deploy Rancher on any Kubernetes cluster. For that reason, we now provide separate security hardening guides for Rancher deployments on each of Rancher's Kubernetes distributions.
- [Rancher Kubernetes Distributions](#rancher-kubernetes-distributions)
- [Hardening Guides and Benchmark Versions](#hardening-guides-and-benchmark-versions)
- [RKE Guides](#rke-guides)
- [RKE2 Guides](#rke2-guides)
- [K3s Guides](#k3s)
- [Rancher with SELinux](#rancher-with-selinux)
# Rancher Kubernetes Distributions
Rancher has the following Kubernetes distributions:
- [**RKE,**]({{<baseurl>}}/rke/latest/en/) Rancher Kubernetes Engine, is a CNCF-certified Kubernetes distribution that runs entirely within Docker containers.
- [**K3s,**]({{<baseurl>}}/k3s/latest/en/) is a fully conformant, lightweight Kubernetes distribution. It is easy to install, with half the memory of upstream Kubernetes, all in a binary of less than 100 MB.
- [**RKE2**](https://docs.rke2.io/) is a fully conformant Kubernetes distribution that focuses on security and compliance within the U.S. Federal Government sector.
To harden a Kubernetes cluster outside of Rancher's distributions, refer to your Kubernetes provider docs.
# Hardening Guides and Benchmark Versions
These guides have been tested along with the Rancher v2.5 release. Each self-assessment guide is accompanied with a hardening guide and tested on a specific Kubernetes version and CIS benchmark version. If a CIS benchmark has not been validated for your Kubernetes version, you can choose to use the existing guides until a newer version is added.
### RKE Guides

# Rancher with SELinux
_Available as of v2.5.8_
[Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux) is a security enhancement to Linux. After being historically used by government agencies, SELinux is now industry standard and is enabled by default on CentOS 7 and 8.
To use Rancher with SELinux, we recommend installing the `rancher-selinux` RPM according to the instructions on [this page.]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.5/en/security/selinux/#installing-the-rancher-selinux-rpm)
