Node taints are a way to mark nodes in a Swarm cluster so that they can repel or attract certain containers based on their tolerations. By applying node taints to the nodes that are designated for development or production, the company can ensure that only the containers that have the matching tolerations can be scheduled on those nodes. This way, the security policy requirements can be met. Node taints are expressed as key=value:effect, where the effect can be NoSchedule, PreferNoSchedule, or NoExecute. For example, to taint a node for development only, one can run:

kubectl taint nodes node1 env=dev:NoSchedule

This means that no container will be able to schedule onto node1 unless it has a toleration for the taint env=dev:NoSchedule. To add a toleration to a container, one can specify it in the PodSpec. For example:

tolerations:

- key: "env"

operator: "Equal"

value: "dev"

effect: "NoSchedule"

This toleration matches the taint on node1 and allows the container to be scheduled on it. References:

 SELinux could be blocking the operation of setting the system time from inside a Docker container. SELinux is a security mechanism that enforces mandatory accesscontrol (MAC) policies on Linux systems. It restricts the actions that processes can perform based on their security contexts, such as user, role, type, and level. By default, SELinux prevents Docker containers from accessing or modifying the host’s system time, as this could pose a security risk or cause inconsistency. To allow Docker containers to set the system time, SELinux needs to be configured with the appropriate permissions or labels, or disabled altogether. However, this is not recommended, as it could compromise the security and stability of the system. References:

Docker Universal Control Plane (UCP) has its own built-in authentication mechanism and integrates with LDAP services1.It also has role-based access control (RBAC), so that you can control who can access and make changes to your cluster and applications1.However, there is no mention of Docker ID being a supported user authentication method for UCP in the resources provided1234.
