When a vulnerability patch is released for a running container in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), the recommended approach is to update the application code or apply the patch directly to the codebase. Then, a new container image should be built incorporating these changes. After building the new image, it should be deployed to replace the running containers. This method ensures that the containers run the updated, secure code.

Steps:

Update Application Code: Modify the application code or dependencies to incorporate the vulnerability patch.

Build New Image: Use a tool like Docker to build a new container image with the updated code.

Push New Image: Push the new container image to the Container Registry.

Update Deployments: Update the Kubernetes deployment to use the new image. This can be done by modifying the image tag in the deployment YAML file.

Redeploy Containers: Apply the updated deployment configuration using kubectl apply -f .yaml, which will redeploy the containers with the new image.

Objective: Implement external web application protection and validate policy changes before enforcement.

Solution: Use Google Cloud Armor's preconfigured rules in preview mode.

Steps:

Step 1: Open the Google Cloud Console.

Step 2: Navigate to the Google Cloud Armor section.

Step 3: Create or select a security policy.

Step 4: Apply preconfigured rules to the policy.

Step 5: Enable preview mode to simulate the effects of the rules without enforcing them.

Step 6: Monitor the logs to validate the policy changes.

Google Cloud Armor's preview mode allows you to test and validate the impact of security policies on your application traffic before applying them, ensuring that they work as intended without disrupting the service.

Scenarios for exporting Cloud Logging data: Splunk This scenario shows how to export selected logs from Cloud Logging to Pub/Sub for ingestion into Splunk. Splunk is a security information and event management (SIEM) solution that supports several ways of ingesting data, such as receiving streaming data out of Google Cloud through Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC) or by fetching data from Google Cloud APIs through Splunk Add-on for Google Cloud. Using the Pub/Sub to Splunk Dataflow template, you can natively forward logs and events from a Pub/Sub topic into Splunk HEC. If Splunk HEC is not available in your Splunk deployment, you can use the Add-on to collect the logs and events from the Pub/Sub topic.
