Kubernetes Security Profiles Operator

This project is the starting point for the Security Profiles Operator (SPO), an out-of-tree Kubernetes enhancement which aims to make it easier for users to use SELinux, seccomp and AppArmor in Kubernetes clusters.

About

The motivation behind the project can be found in the corresponding RFC.

Related Kubernetes Enhancement Proposals (KEPs) which have direct influence on this project:

Next to those KEPs, here are existing approaches for security profiles in the Kubernetes world:

Features

The SPO's features are implemented for each one of the underlying supported technologies, namely: Seccomp, SELinux and AppArmor. Here's the feature parity status across them:

	Seccomp	SELinux	AppArmor
Profile CRD	Yes	Yes	Yes
ProfileBinding	Yes	No	No
Deploy profiles into nodes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Remove profiles no longer in use	Yes	Yes	Yes
Profile Auto-generation (logs)	Yes	WIP	No
Profile Auto-generation (ebpf)	Yes	No	No
Audit log enrichment	Yes	WIP	Yes

For information about the security model and what permissions each features requires, refer to SPO's security model.

Personas & User Stories

As any other piece of software, this operator is meant to help people. Thus, the target personas have been reflected in a document in this repo.

The functionality that this operator is meant to enable is captured as user stories. If you feel that a user story is not captured properly, feel free to submit a Pull Request. The team will be more than happy to review and help you reflect the requirement.

Roadmap

The project tries to not overlap with those existing implementations to provide valuable additions in a more secure Kubernetes context. We created a mind map to get a better feeling about all features we want to implement to better support some security areas within Kubernetes:

Going forwards, the operator will extend its purpose to assist Kubernetes users to create, distribute and apply security profiles for seccomp, AppArmor, SeLinux, PodSecurityPolicies and RBAC permissions.

Community, discussion, contribution, and support

If you're interested in contributing to SPO, please see the developer focused document

We schedule a monthly meeting every last Thursday of a month.
