Context AppArmor is enabled on the cluster's worker node. An AppArmor profile is prepared, but not enforced yet. Task On the cluster's worker node, enforce the prepared AppArmor profile located at /etc/apparmor.d/nginx_apparmor. Edit the prepared manifest file located at /home/candidate/KSSH00401/nginx-pod.yaml to apply the AppArmor profile. Finally, apply the manifest file and create the Pod specified in it.

Cluster: scanner Master node: controlplane Worker node: worker1 You can switch the cluster/configuration context using the following command: [desk@cli] $ kubectl config use-context scanner Given: You may use Trivy's documentation. Task: Use the Trivy open-source container scanner to detect images with severe vulnerabilities used by Pods in the namespace nato. Look for images with High or Critical severity vulnerabilities and delete the Pods that use those images. Trivy is pre-installed on the cluster's master node. Use cluster's master node to use Trivy.

You must complete this task on the following cluster/nodes: Cluster: immutable-cluster Master node: master1 Worker node: worker1 You can switch the cluster/configuration context using the following command: [desk@cli] $ kubectl config use-context immutable-cluster Context: It is best practice to design containers to be stateless and immutable. Task: Inspect Pods running in namespace prod and delete any Pod that is either not stateless or not immutable. Use the following strict interpretation of stateless and immutable: 1. Pods being able to store data inside containers must be treated as not stateless. Note: You don't have to worry whether data is actually stored inside containers or not already. 2. Pods being configured to be privileged in any way must be treated as potentially not stateless or not immutable.

Context A container image scanner is set up on the cluster, but it's not yet fully integrated into the cluster s configuration. When complete, the container image scanner shall scan for and reject the use of vulnerable images. Task Given an incomplete configuration in directory /etc/kubernetes/epconfig and a functional container image scanner with HTTPS endpoint https://wakanda.local:8081 /image_policy : 1. Enable the necessary plugins to create an image policy 2. Validate the control configuration and change it to an implicit deny 3. Edit the configuration to point to the provided HTTPS endpoint correctlyFinally, test if the configuration is working by trying to deploy the vulnerable resource /root/KSSC00202/vulnerable-resource.yml.
