# Security
|
|
|
|
Typhoon aims to be minimal and secure. We're running it ourselves after all.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
**Kubernetes**
|
|
|
|
* etcd with peer-to-peer and client-auth TLS
|
|
* Kubelets TLS bootstrap certificates (72 hours)
|
|
* Generated TLS certificate (365 days) for admin `kubeconfig`
|
|
* [NodeRestriction](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/node/) is enabled to limit Kubelet authorization
|
|
* [Role-Based Access Control](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/authorization/rbac/) is enabled. Apps must define RBAC policies for API access
|
|
* Workloads run on worker nodes only, unless they tolerate the master taint
|
|
* Kubernetes [Network Policy](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/) and Calico [NetworkPolicy](https://docs.projectcalico.org/latest/reference/calicoctl/resources/networkpolicy) support [^1]
|
|
|
|
[^1]: Requires `networking = "calico"`. Calico is the default on all platforms (AWS, Azure, bare-metal, DigitalOcean, and Google Cloud).
|
|
|
|
**Hosts**
|
|
|
|
* Container Linux auto-updates are enabled
|
|
* Hosts limit logins to SSH key-based auth (user "core")
|
|
* SELinux enforcing mode [^2]
|
|
|
|
[^2]: SELinux is enforcing on Fedora CoreOS, permissive on Flatcar Linux.
|
|
|
|
**Platform**
|
|
|
|
* Cloud firewalls limit access to ssh, kube-apiserver, and ingress
|
|
* No cluster credentials are stored in Matchbox (used for bare-metal)
|
|
* No cluster credentials are stored in Digital Ocean metadata
|
|
* Cluster credentials are stored in AWS metadata (for ASGs)
|
|
* Cluster credentials are stored in Azure metadata (for scale sets)
|
|
* Cluster credentials are stored in Google Cloud metadata (for managed instance groups)
|
|
* No account credentials are available to Digital Ocean droplets
|
|
* No account credentials are available to AWS EC2 instances (no IAM permissions)
|
|
* No account credentials are available to Azure instances (no IAM permissions)
|
|
* No account credentials are available to Google Cloud instances (no IAM permissions)
|
|
|
|
## Precautions
|
|
|
|
Typhoon limits exposure to many security threats, but it is not a silver bullet. As usual,
|
|
|
|
* Do not run untrusted images or accept manifests from strangers
|
|
* Do not give untrusted users a shell behind your firewall
|
|
* Define network policies for your namespaces
|
|
|
|
## Container Images
|
|
|
|
Typhoon uses upstream container images (where possible) and upstream binaries.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
Kubernetes releases `kubelet` as a binary for distros to package, either as a DEB/RPM on traditional distros or as a container image for container-optimized operating systems.
|
|
|
|
Typhoon [packages](https://github.com/poseidon/kubelet) the upstream Kubelet and its dependencies as a [container image](https://quay.io/repository/poseidon/kubelet). Builds fetch the upstream Kubelet binary and verify its checksum.
|
|
|
|
The Kubelet image is published to Quay.io and Dockerhub.
|
|
|
|
* [quay.io/poseidon/kubelet](https://quay.io/repository/poseidon/kubelet) (official)
|
|
* [docker.io/psdn/kubelet](https://hub.docker.com/r/psdn/kubelet) (fallback)
|
|
|
|
Two tag styles indicate the build strategy used.
|
|
|
|
* Typhoon internal infra publishes single and multi-arch images (e.g. `v1.18.4`, `v1.18.4-amd64`, `v1.18.4-arm64`, `v1.18.4-2-g23228e6-amd64`, `v1.18.4-2-g23228e6-arm64`)
|
|
* Quay automated builds publish verifiable images (e.g. `build-SHA` on Quay)
|
|
|
|
The Typhoon-built Kubelet image is used as the official image. Automated builds provide an alternative image for those preferring to trust images built by Quay (albeit lacking multi-arch). To use the fallback registry or an alternative tag, see [customization](/advanced/customization/#system-images).
|
|
|
|
### flannel-cni
|
|
|
|
Typhoon packages the [flannel-cni](https://github.com/poseidon/flannel-cni) container image to provide security patches.
|
|
|
|
* [quay.io/poseidon/flannel-cni](https://quay.io/repository/poseidon/flannel-cni) (official)
|
|
|
|
## Terraform Providers
|
|
|
|
Typhoon publishes Terraform providers to the Terraform Registry, GPG signed by 0x8F515AD1602065C8.

## Disclosures
|
|
|
|
If you find security issues, please email `security@psdn.io`. If the issue lies in upstream Kubernetes, please inform upstream Kubernetes as well.
