CKS Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) Questions and Answers

Create a network policy named allow-np, that allows pod in the namespace staging to connect to port 80 of other pods in the same namespace.

Ensure that Network Policy:-

1. Does not allow access to pod not listening on port 80.

2. Does not allow access from Pods, not in namespace staging.

Create a PSP that will only allow the persistentvolumeclaim as the volume type in the namespace restricted.

Create a new PodSecurityPolicy named prevent-volume-policy which prevents the pods which is having different volumes mount apart from persistentvolumeclaim.

Create a new ServiceAccount named psp-sa in the namespace restricted.

Create a new ClusterRole named psp-role, which uses the newly created Pod Security Policy prevent-volume-policy

Create a new ClusterRoleBinding named psp-role-binding, which binds the created ClusterRole psp-role to the created SA psp-sa.

Hint:

Also, Check the Configuration is working or not by trying to Mount a Secret in the pod maifest, it should get failed.

• spec:
• containers:
• - name:
• image:
• volumeMounts:
• - name:
• mountPath:

Task

Create a NetworkPolicy named pod-access to restrict access to Pod users-service running in namespace dev-team.

Only allow the following Pods to connect to Pod users-service:

Pods in the namespace qa

Pods with label environment: testing, in any namespace

Context

Your organization’s security policy includes:

• ServiceAccounts must not automount API credentials
• ServiceAccount names must end in "-sa"

The Pod specified in the manifest file /home/candidate/KSCH00301 /pod-m

nifest.yaml fails to schedule because of an incorrectly specified ServiceAccount.

Complete the following tasks:

Task

1. Create a new ServiceAccount named frontend-sa in the existing namespace qa. Ensure the ServiceAccount does not automount API credentials.

2. Using the manifest file at /home/candidate/KSCH00301 /pod-manifest.yaml, create the Pod.

3. Finally, clean up any unused ServiceAccounts in namespace qa.
