Note: log volume & policy volume is already mounted in vim /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml so no need to mount it.

Fix all of the following violations that were found against the API server:-

 a. Ensure that the RotateKubeletServerCertificate argument is set to true.

  b. Ensure that the admission control plugin PodSecurityPolicy is set.

audit: "/bin/ps -ef | grep $apiserverbin | grep -v grep"

tests:

test_items:

- flag: "--enable-admission-plugins"

compare:

op: has

value: "PodSecurityPolicy"

set: true

remediation: |

Follow the documentation and create Pod Security Policy objects as per your environment.

Then, edit the API server pod specification file $apiserverconf

on the master node and set the --enable-admission-plugins parameter to a

value that includes PodSecurityPolicy :

--enable-admission-plugins=...,PodSecurityPolicy,...

Then restart the API Server.

scored: true

c. Ensure that the --kubelet-certificate-authority argument is set as appropriate.

audit: "/bin/ps -ef | grep $apiserverbin | grep -v grep"

tests:

test_items:

- flag: "--kubelet-certificate-authority"

set: true

remediation: |

Follow the Kubernetes documentation and setup the TLS connection between the

apiserver and kubelets. Then, edit the API server pod specification file

$apiserverconf on the master node and set the --kubelet-certificate-authority

parameter to the path to the cert file for the certificate authority.

--kubelet-certificate-authority=

scored: true

Fix all of the following violations that were found against the ETCD:-

a. Ensure that the --auto-tls argument is not set to true

Edit the etcd pod specification file $etcdconf on the master

node and either remove the --auto-tls parameter or set it to false.

--auto-tls=false

b. Ensure that the --peer-auto-tls argument is not set to true

Edit the etcd pod specification file $etcdconf on the master

node and either remove the --peer-auto-tls parameter or set it to false.

--peer-auto-tls=false
