Installing by using an Operator

Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS) installs a set of services on your OpenShift Container Platform or Kubernetes cluster. This section describes the installation procedure for installing Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes on your OpenShift Container Platform or Kubernetes cluster by using an Operator.

Before you install:

The Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator includes the following two custom resources:

  1. Central - The central resource is a logical grouping of the following services:

    • Central: Central is the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes application management interface and services. It handles data persistence, API interactions, and user interface (RHACS Portal) access. You can use the same Central instance to secure multiple OpenShift Container Platform or Kubernetes clusters.

    • Scanner: Scanner is a Red Hat-developed and certified vulnerability scanner for scanning container images and their associated database. It analyzes all image layers to check known vulnerabilities from the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) list. Scanner also identifies vulnerabilities in packages installed by package managers and in dependencies for multiple programming languages.

  2. SecuredCluster - The secured cluster resource is a logical grouping of the following services:

    • Sensor: Sensor is the service responsible for analyzing and monitoring the cluster. It handles interactions with the OpenShift Container Platform or Kubernetes API server for policy detection and enforcement, and it coordinates with Collector.

    • Collector: Collector analyzes and monitors container activity on cluster nodes. It collects information about container runtime and network activity. It then sends the collected data to Sensor.

    • Admission Control: The admission controller prevents users from creating workloads that violate security policies in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes.

The following steps represent a high-level workflow for installing Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes by using an Operator:

  1. Install the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator from OperatorHub in the cluster where you want to install Central.

  2. Configure and deploy the Central custom resource.

  3. Generate and apply an init bundle. The init bundle contains the secrets that provide linking between Central and the secured clusters.

  4. Install the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator in all clusters that you want to monitor.

  5. Configure and deploy the SecuredCluster custom resource in each individual cluster that you want to monitor.

Installing the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator

Using the OperatorHub provided with OpenShift Container Platform is the easiest way to install Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an account with Operator installation permissions.

  • You must be using OpenShift Container Platform 4.6 or later.

Procedure

  1. Navigate in the web console to the Operators → OperatorHub page.

  2. If Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes is not displayed, enter Advanced Cluster Security into the Filter by keyword box to find the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator.

  3. Select the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator to view the details page.

  4. Read the information about the Operator and click Install.

  5. On the Install Operator page:

    • Keep the default value for Installation mode as All namespaces on the cluster.

    • Choose a specific namespace in which to install the Operator for the Installed namespace field. Red Hat recommends installing the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator in the rhacs-operator namespace.

    • Select automatic or manual updates for Update approval.

      If you choose automatic updates, when a new version of the Operator is available, Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) automatically upgrades the running instance of your Operator.

      If you choose manual updates, when a newer version of the Operator is available, OLM creates an update request. As a cluster administrator, you must then manually approve that update request to update the Operator to the new version.

      If you choose manual updates, you should update the RHACS Operator in all secured clusters when you update the RHACS Operator in the cluster where Central is installed. The secured clusters and the cluster where Central is installed should have the same version to ensure optimal functionality.

  6. click Install.

Verification

  • After the installation completes, navigate to Operators → Installed Operators to verify that the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator is listed with the status of Succeeded.

Next Step

  • Install, configure, and deploy the Central custom resource.

Installing Central

The main component of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes is called Central. You can install Central on OpenShift Container Platform by using the Central custom resource. You deploy Central only once, and you can monitor multiple separate clusters by using the same Central installation.

When you install Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes for the first time, you must first install the Central custom resource because the SecuredCluster custom resource installation is dependent on certificates that Central generates.
Prerequisites

  • You must be using OpenShift Container Platform 4.6 or later.

Procedure

  1. On the OpenShift Container Platform web console, navigate to the Operators → Installed Operators page.

  2. Select the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator from the list of installed Operators.

  3. If you have installed the Operator in the recommended namespace, OpenShift Container Platform lists the project as rhacs-operator. Select Project: rhacs-operator → Create project.

    • If you have installed the Operator in a different namespace, OpenShift Container Platform shows the name of that namespace rather than rhacs-operator.

    • You must install the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Central custom resource in its own project and not in the rhacs-operator and openshift-operator projects, or in the project in which you have installed the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator.

  4. Enter the new project name (for example, stackrox), and click Create. Red Hat recommends that you use stackrox as the project name.

  5. Under the Provided APIs section, select Central. click Create Central.

  6. Enter a name for your Central custom resource and add any labels you want to apply. Otherwise, accept the default values for the available options.

  7. click Create.

If you are using the cluster-wide proxy, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes uses that proxy configuration to connect to the external services.
Next Steps

  1. Verify Central installation.

  2. Optional: Configure Central options.

  3. Generate an init bundle.

Additional resources

Verifying Central installation

After Central finishes installing, log in to the RHACS portal to verify the successful installation of Central.

Procedure

  1. On the OpenShift Container Platform web console, navigate to the Operators → Installed Operators page.

  2. Select the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator from the list of installed Operators.

  3. Select the Central tab.

  4. From the Centrals list, select stackrox-central-services to view its details.

  5. To get the password for the admin user, you can either:

    • click the link under Admin Password Secret Reference.

    • Use the OpenShift Container Platform cli to enter the command listed under Admin Credentials Info:

      $ oc -n stackrox get secret central-htpasswd -o go-template='{{index .data "password" | base64decode}}'

  6. Find the link to the RHACS portal by using the OpenShift Container Platform cli command:

    $ oc -n stackrox get route central -o jsonpath="{.status.ingress[0].host}"

    Alternatively, you can use the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes web console to find the link to the RHACS portal by performing the following commands:

    1. Navigate to Networking → Routes.

    2. Find the central Route and click on the RHACS portal link under the Location column.

  7. Log in to the RHACS portal using the username admin and the password that you retrieved in a previous step. Until Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes is completely configured (for example, you have the Central resource and at least one SecuredCluster resource installed and configured), no data is available in the dashboard. The SecuredCluster resource can be installed and configured on the same cluster as the Central resource. Clusters with the SecuredCluster resource are similar to managed clusters in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM).

Next Steps

  1. Optional: Configure central settings.

  2. Generate an init bundle containing the cluster secrets that allows communication between the Central and SecuredCluster resources. You need to download this bundle, use it to generate resources on the clusters you want to secure, and securely store it.

Central configuration options

When you create a Central instance, the Operator lists the following configuration options for the Central custom resource.

Central settings

Parameter Description

    $ export ROX_API_TOKEN=<api_token>
    $ export ROX_CENTRAL_ADDRESS=<address>:<port_number>
Procedure

  • Run the following command to generate a cluster init bundle containing secrets:

    $ roxctl -e "$ROX_CENTRAL_ADDRESS" \
  central init-bundles generate <cluster_init_bundle_name> \
  --output-secrets cluster_init_bundle.yaml

Make sure that you store this bundle securely because it contains secrets. You can use the same bundle to set up multiple secured clusters.

Additional resources

Creating resources by using the init bundle

Before you install secured clusters, you must use the init bundle to create the required resources on the cluster that will allow the services on the secured clusters to communicate with Central.

Prerequisites

  • You must have generated an init bundle containing secrets.

Procedure

  • Using the OpenShift Container Platform cli, run the following command to create the resources:

    $ oc create -f <init_bundle>.yaml \ (1)
