Rancher CIS Kubernetes v.1.4.0 Benchmark Self Assessment Rancher v2.2.x Version 1.1.0 - August 2019 Authors Taylor Price Overview The following document scores a Kubernetes 1.13.x RKE cluster provisioned provisioned according to the Rancher v2.2.x hardening guide against the CIS 1.4.0 Kubernetes benchmark. This document is a companion to the Rancher v2.2.x security hardening guide. The hardening guide the benchmark. Because Rancher and RKE install Kubernetes services as Docker containers, many of the control verification checks in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark don't apply. This guide will walk through

great……..but How about managing many? How do we address: Networking, Security, Scheduling, Automation, etc? 6 Why Kubernetes ? Common compute platform across any infrastructure DEV DATA CENTER CLOUD infrastructure capabilities Kubernetes architecture ● Controlplane: Manages the cluster and exposes an API for control ● Etcd: a key value store used as Kubernetes’ backing store for all cluster components. API / CLI Setting up Kubernetes is hard 10 You don’t compile Linux from scratch, you use a distribution 11 Rancher Kubernetes Engine • 100% Upstream Kubernetes • CNCF certified • Easy installation
