Fix Recommendation

Amend any system documentation requiring revision. Update Kubernetes API Server manifest and namespace PPS configuration to comply with PPSM CAL.

Check Contents

Change to the /etc/kubernetes/manifests/ directory on the Kubernetes Master Node. Run the command:
grep kube-apiserver.manifest -I-insecure-port
grep kube-apiserver.manifest -I -secure-port
grep kube-apiserver.manifest -I -etcd-servers *
-edit manifest file:
VIM <Manifest Name>
Review livenessProbe:
HttpGet:
Port:
Review ports:
- containerPort:
hostPort:
- containerPort:
hostPort:
Run Command:
kubectl describe services –all-namespace
Search labels for any apiserver names spaces.
Port:

Any manifest and namespace PPS or services configuration not in compliance with PPSM CAL is a finding.

Review the information systems documentation and interview the team, gain an understanding of the API Server architecture, and determine applicable PPS. If there are any ports, protocols, and services in the system documentation not in compliance with the CAL PPSM, this is a finding. Any PPS not set in the system documentation is a finding.

Review findings against the most recent PPSM CAL:

Verify API Server network boundary with the PPS associated with the CAL Assurance Categories. Any PPS not in compliance with the CAL Assurance Category requirements is a finding.
