You can install RHACS on your secured clusters for platforms such as Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (Google GKE), and Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (Microsoft AKS).

Installing RHACS on secured clusters by using helm charts

You can install RHACS on secured clusters by using helm charts with no customization, using the default values, or with customizations of configuration parameters.

Installing RHACS on secured clusters by using helm charts without customizations

Adding the helm chart repository

Procedure

Add the RHACS charts repository.

$ helm repo add rhacs https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/rhacs/charts/

The helm repository for Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes includes helm charts for installing different components, including:

Central services helm chart (central-services) for installing the centralized components (Central and Scanner).

You deploy centralized components only once and you can monitor multiple separate clusters by using the same installation.
Secured Cluster Services helm chart (secured-cluster-services) for installing the per-cluster (Sensor and Admission controller) and per-node (Collector) components.

Deploy the per-cluster components into each cluster that you want to monitor and deploy the per-node components in all nodes that you want to monitor.

Verification

Run the following command to verify the added chart repository:
```
$ helm search repo -l rhacs/
```

Installing the secured-cluster-services helm chart without customization

Use the following instructions to install the secured-cluster-services helm chart to deploy the per-cluster and per-node components (Sensor, Admission controller, and Collector).

To install Collector on systems that have Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and that have Secure Boot enabled, you must use eBPF probes because kernel modules are unsigned, and the UEFI firmware cannot load unsigned packages. Collector identifies Secure Boot status at the start and switches to eBPF probes if required.

Prerequisites

You must have generated RHACS init bundle for your cluster.
You must have the address and the port number that you are exposing the Central service on.

Procedure

Run the following command on your Kubernetes based clusters:

$ helm install -n stackrox --create-namespace \
    stackrox-secured-cluster-services rhacs/secured-cluster-services \
    -f <path_to_cluster_init_bundle.yaml> \ (1)
    --set clusterName=<name_of_the_secured_cluster> \
    --set centralEndpoint=<endpoint_of_central_service> (2)

1	Use the `-f` option to specify the path for the init bundle.
2	Specify the address and port number for Central. For example, `acs.domain.com:443`.

Run the following command on OpenShift Container Platform clusters:

$ helm install -n stackrox --create-namespace \
    stackrox-secured-cluster-services rhacs/secured-cluster-services \
    -f <path_to_cluster_init_bundle.yaml> \ (1)
    --set clusterName=<name_of_the_secured_cluster> \
    --set centralEndpoint=<endpoint_of_central_service> (2)
    --set scanner.disable=false

1	Use the `-f` option to specify the path for the init bundle.
2	Specify the address and port number for Central. For example, `acs.domain.com:443`.

Configuring the secured-cluster-services helm chart with customizations

This section describes helm chart configuration parameters that you can use with the helm install and helm upgrade commands. You can specify these parameters by using the --set option or by creating YAML configuration files.

Create the following files for configuring the helm chart for installing Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes:

Public configuration file values-public.yaml: Use this file to save all non-sensitive configuration options.
Private configuration file values-private.yaml: Use this file to save all sensitive configuration options. Ensure that you store this file securely.

While using the secured-cluster-services helm chart, do not modify the values.yaml file that is part of the chart.

`admissionControl.listenOnCreates`	This setting controls whether Kubernetes is configured to contact Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes with `AdmissionReview` requests for workload creation events.
`admissionControl.listenOnUpdates`	When you set this parameter as `false`, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes creates the `ValidatingWebhookConfiguration` in a way that causes the Kubernetes API server not to send object update events. Since the volume of object updates is usually higher than the object creates, leaving this as `false` limits the load on the admission control service and decreases the chances of a malfunctioning admission control service.
`admissionControl.listenOnEvents`	This setting controls whether the cluster is configured to contact Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes with `AdmissionReview` requests for Kubernetes `exec` and `portforward` events. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes does not support this feature on OpenShift Container Platform 3.11. For more information, see Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Support Policy.
`admissionControl.dynamic.enforceOnCreates`	This setting controls whether Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes evaluates policies; if it is disabled, all AdmissionReview requests are automatically accepted.
`admissionControl.dynamic.enforceOnUpdates`	This setting controls the behavior of the admission control service. You must specify `listenOnUpdates` as `true` for this to work.
`admissionControl.dynamic.scanInline`	If you set this option to `true`, the admission control service requests an image scan before making an admission decision. Since image scans take several seconds, enable this option only if you can ensure that all images used in your cluster are scanned before deployment (for example, by a CI integration during image build). This option corresponds to the Contact image scanners option in the RHACS Portal.
`admissionControl.dynamic.disableBypass`	Set it to `true` to disable bypassing the Admission controller.

`createUpgraderServiceAccount`	Specify `true` to create the `sensor-upgrader` account. By default, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes creates a service account called `sensor-upgrader` in each secured cluster. This account is highly privileged but is only used during upgrades. If you do not create this account, you must complete future upgrades manually if the Sensor does not have enough permissions.
`createSecrets`	Specify `false` to skip the orchestrator secret creation for the Sensor, Collector, and Admission controller.
`collector.slimMode`	Specify `true` if you want to use a slim Collector image for deploying Collector. Using slim Collector images requires Central to provide the matching eBPF probe or kernel module. If you are running Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes in offline mode, you must download a kernel support package from stackrox.io and upload it to Central for slim Collectors to function. Otherwise, you must ensure that Central can access the online probe repository hosted at https://collector-modules.stackrox.io/.

Installing the secured-cluster-services helm chart

After you configure the values-public.yaml and values-private.yaml files, install the secured-cluster-services helm chart to deploy the per-cluster and per-node components (Sensor, Admission controller, and Collector).

Prerequisites

You must have generated RHACS init bundle for your cluster.
You must have the address and the port number that you are exposing the Central service on.

Procedure

Run the following command:

$ helm install -n stackrox --create-namespace \
  stackrox-secured-cluster-services rhacs/secured-cluster-services \
  -f <name_of_cluster_init_bundle.yaml> \
  -f <path_to_values_public.yaml> -f <path_to_values_private.yaml> (1)

1	Use the `-f` option to specify the paths for your YAML configuration files.

To deploy secured-cluster-services helm chart by using a continuous integration (CI) system, pass the init bundle YAML file as an environment variable to the helm install command:

$ helm install ... -f <(echo "$INIT_BUNDLE_YAML_SECRET") (1)

1	If you are using base64 encoded variables, use the `helm install … -f <(echo "$INIT_BUNDLE_YAML_SECRET" \| base64 --decode)` command instead.

Changing configuration options after deploying the secured-cluster-services helm chart

You can make changes to any configuration options after you have deployed the secured-cluster-services helm chart.

Procedure

Update the values-public.yaml and values-private.yaml configuration files with new values.

Run the helm upgrade command and specify the configuration files using the -f option:

$ helm upgrade -n stackrox \
  stackrox-secured-cluster-services rhacs/secured-cluster-services \
  --reuse-values \ (1)
  -f <path_to_values_public.yaml> \
  -f <path_to_values_private.yaml>

1	You must specify the `--reuse-values` parameter, otherwise the helm upgrade command resets all previously configured settings.

You can also specify configuration values using the --set or --set-file parameters. However, these options are not saved, and it requires you to manually specify all the options again whenever you make changes.

Installing Sensor

To monitor a cluster, you must deploy Sensor. You must deploy Sensor into each cluster that you want to monitor. The following steps describe adding Sensor by using the RHACS portal.

Prerequisites

You must have already installed Central services, or you can access Central services by selecting your ACS instance on Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service (RHACS Cloud Service).

Procedure

On your secured cluster, in the RHACS portal, navigate to Platform Configuration → Clusters.
Select + New Cluster.
Specify a name for the cluster.
Provide appropriate values for the fields based on where you are deploying the Sensor.
- If you are deploying Sensor in the same cluster, accept the default values for all the fields.
- If you are deploying into a different cluster, replace central.stackrox.svc:443 with a load balancer, node port, or other address, including the port number, that is accessible from the other cluster.
- If you are using a non-gRPC capable load balancer, such as HAProxy, AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB), or AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), use the WebSocket Secure (wss) protocol. To use wss:
  - Prefix the address with wss://.
  - Add the port number after the address, for example, wss://stackrox-central.example.com:443.
Click Next to continue with the Sensor setup.
Click Download YAML File and Keys to download the cluster bundle (zip archive).

The cluster bundle zip archive includes unique configurations and keys for each cluster. Do not reuse the same files in another cluster.
From a system that has access to the monitored cluster, unzip and run the sensor script from the cluster bundle:
```
$ unzip -d sensor sensor-<cluster_name>.zip
```
```
$ ./sensor/sensor.sh
```
If you get a warning that you do not have the required permissions to deploy Sensor, follow the on-screen instructions, or contact your cluster administrator for assistance.

After Sensor is deployed, it contacts Central and provides cluster information.

Verification

Return to the RHACS portal and check if the deployment is successful. If successful, when viewing your list of clusters in Platform Configuration → Clusters, the cluster status displays a green checkmark and a Healthy status. If you do not see a green checkmark, use the following command to check for problems:
- On OpenShift Container Platform, enter the following command:
  $ oc get pod -n stackrox -w
- On Kubernetes, enter the following command:
  $ kubectl get pod -n stackrox -w
Click Finish to close the window.

After installation, Sensor starts reporting security information to RHACS and the RHACS portal dashboard begins showing deployments, images, and policy violations from the cluster on which you have installed the Sensor.
