Installing by using an Operator | Installing | Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes 3.66

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

Before you install:

Understand Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes architecture.
Review the prerequisites for installing Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes.

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

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.
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:

Install the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator from OperatorHub in the cluster where you want to install Central.
Configure and deploy the Central custom resource.
Generate and apply an init bundle.
Install the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator in all clusters that you want to monitor.
Configure and deploy the SecuredCluster custom resource in all clusters 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

Navigate in the web console to the Operators → OperatorHub page.
Enter Advanced Cluster Security into the Filter by keyword box to find the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator.
Select the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator to view the details page.
Read the information about the Operator and click Install.
On the Install Operator page, keep the default values for Update channel, Installation mode, Installed namespace, and Approval strategy.
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.

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

On the OpenShift Container Platform web console, navigate to the Operators → Installed Operators page.
Select the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Operator from the list of installed Operators.
By default, OpenShift Container Platform lists the project as openshift-operator. Select Project: openshift-operator → Create project.

You must install the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Central custom resource in its own project and not in the default openshift-operators project.
Enter the new project name, for example, stackrox, and click Create.
Under the Provided APIs section, select Create instance on the Central API.
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.
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.
